My PC experience is with Windows, but I would like to use the
Frescobaldi GUI. A friend suggested that I install Linux on a virtual
machine then install KDE and Frescobaldi on the system. I told him I
was not Linux-literate and he said you don't have to be. All you need is
to be able to install it and install the apps and you're good to go.
I've seen some of the posts in this forum where some users have problems
when installing LilyPond on Linux systems, especially Ubuntu.
Others have suggested a dual-boot option, to which I would add that
Frescobaldi is in the Ubuntu repositories, although IIRC it's a version
behind (0.7 where current is 1.0 ). In Ubuntu, the Ubuntustudio package
pulls in a shed-load of goodies, tailored to your choice of audio or
video processing.
Staying in Windows, you can run a Windows install of Lilypond, and add
to it jEdit with the LilypondTool plugin. The advantages are a single
computing environment, and jEdit+Lilytool gives the same functionality
as Frescobaldi, including the link from .PDF to input. You don't get the
Rumour midi app, and the single computing environment is Windows, but
should you migrate to Linux, jEdit is there waiting for you.
