Here's what I do, and I use Linux: I use a graphical program to
input the general notation. Then I export that info to a Lilypond
music file. Then I can tweak the music with a text editor until I
get it they way I want it. The point is that a graphical front end
program makes writing Lilypond code easier.
I don't agree, even if I'm a Mac user that likes nice GUIs. (But I'm
also a programmer...)
Keying in notes like 'a4. bes8 g( e)' is *much* faster and easier
than mousing them in some GUI app (I used HarmonyAssistant for some
years).
It may be better if you've got a MIDI keyboard and can handle it good
enough to just play your music, but if you must place every note with
your mouse, it's horrible...
I sometimes use midi2ly, but it's mostly more work than writing
everything from scratch (because MIDI knows no partials, repeats etc.).
