I'd like to add that I think that Lilypond's main strength is as a
typesetting/publishing programme. For composing and arranging, I find
it's
better to have a page of blank manuscript in front of you that you can
'fill
in', something that Lilypond's text-input paradigm doesn't really allow
for.
But once all the information is there, making changes is relatively easy,
and the printed results are, of course, sublime.
With the development of MuseScore (that is a similar program to
Sibelius with less features at this time) having the lilypond
(redable) file export feature, this could encompass both situations of
having a blank score and the best typestting.
Perhaps lilypons and musecore could develop even closer and closer
from now on, that would just make Sibelius pointless.
BTW, musecore got 2 million downloads already
I was one, a couple of days ago. I've been using it to convert Capella
files to MusicXML. I find the user interface a bit weird, but it looks nice
and professional.
(It means my music production route is Capella download -> Musescore ->
MusicXML -> mxml2nwcc -> Noteworthy -> nwctxt -> nwctxt2ly -> lilypond ->
pdf)
