Hi Andrew,
I use Lilypond very often and I think it's a great tool for music notation. It contains the possibility to notate ancient and non-western music as well. It's easy to write reusable templates for different styles of music. The main disadvantage (compared to f.e. Sibelius) is that due to compile time changes of a single note take a lot of time to be visible,
I think this can be mitigated by using some gui programme which can then export to lilypond. It does add an additional passage to the chain but can be useful for editing the music. E.g. I have used Rosegarden (which is mainly a sequencer and has the advantage of playing the music).
Lorenzo.
especially when also rendering a midi-file. I think that learning the language is not harder than learning to use a GUI-tool. BTW templates/examples are available online. "Lilypond notation reference" (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/index) will be your friend.
