A smooth user interface on an already-debugged platform is something
that Windows itself cannot honestly claim. I've used Windows lately.
I stopped.
What you are calling "detailed features" are the main reason for
choosing Lilypond. To musicians they are not "detailed features" at
all, but the basics. Lilypond still has some distance to go to be
adequate for all ordinary music. I have used very few programs that
are, and none of those were free, open-source, etc.
If you want a free (as in no money) music notation program for
Windows, with fewer features but an easier interface for beginners, I
can recommend some. Lilypond is filling its own position very well,
exactly (in my opinion) because it is not trying to be those programs.
Sincerely
David
