Peter Frise's video is sure a great reminder for WYSIWYG users that there is an alternative, and that this alternative is not much of an hassle to switch to.
However, I've found it funny when he complains about adding extensions to chords when it is only a few pages down on the chord documentation.... Or even adding the instrument name. For the basics, beginners can rely on the docs, stackoverflow, this public mailing list or even AI. I remember watching Sound from Sounds' videos on Lilypond during the pandemic; they sure helped a lot. But when it comes to more intermediate to advanced features, the docs are a bit confusing to a developing user. They don't explain much as needed, or would throw the user to another dense topic (like functions and Scheme). When push came to shove, I've had to come to this mailing list (which isn't immediate) or to AI (which might not always be right). I don't think Lilypond or Frescobaldi need to be changed. I guess the docs could be jacked up a bit, specially because more "plain PC users" might get frustrated with the "change of pace" and strangeness of a text based software.
