On my WinXP installation in a VM I use Notepad++, it's fast enough and
a good programming editor.
But AFAIK there's no syntax highlighting setup for LilyPond yet.
(Here's an old one:

I guess your Notepad problem is due to Unix line endings. AFAIK
Notepad still can't cope with UTF-8 (and you'll need that encoding for
umlauts etc.)

(I write my LilyPond files in Smultron on OSX.)
