Yes, but the concern here is to bundle something along with LilyPond. I
don't think that's a very good idea though.
We shouldn't bundle unmaintained (that's a fact) broken (fact) editors.
I think we should make LilyPondTool and Frescobaldi officially
recommended and provide them as bundle download.
I would like to see options on the download page:
- Download LilyPond with LilyPondTool (needs Java installed)
- Download LilyPond with Frescobaldi (Linux only)
- Download LilyPond without an editor

jEdit with the LilyPondTool plugin practically does all of that already.

If lilypond came with a rudimentary GUI I think it would at least
octuple the number of people trying it out.
Something simple like a window with File/compile menus, a text
editor pane, compile messages at bottom,
and a score preview. No more features needed, it's just to get
people who don't know what a shell or
a text editor is to try it out. They can then start the "lilypond
program", open various example files, change a few notes, and
they're hooked!
