It might take a little longer, but you get so much better output. It's not for me, but if someone wanted to quietly join the blog conversation, it might be interesting to ask if some of the folks asking for multiple voices on one conductor staff and such, could post just a one-page excerpt of a problematic score or part. Then we could engrave that page in lilypond and post a link back to the list saying "That page took me x minutes with Lilypond. Here's the PDF showing how it looks, whaddya think?" On a moderated blog, the post of the Lilypond PDF link might never see the light of day, but one can try. I bet Daniel would view it. I agreed with the blog poster who said that Lilypond probably covers 98% of the wishlist, except for the UI, as you mention. I also would wager that a lot of the posters on the blog are capable of learning Lilypond's UI, if only they knew that Lily could fulfill their wishes.
