Since I first got lilypond going, I've been learning how to use it by transcribing 
audio into .ly files. This takes me back to my early music studies, except that then I 
had to do it by hand!

Those musical studies are a long way behind now, though, and - while I'm pleased to 
have the ability to be able to do this at all - I'm conscious of the fact that I'm 
probably not doing it in the best/most efficient way: on the other hand, never having 
been formally shown how to do this (as a string player, I was spared having to learn 
piano staff notation, etc., etc), reducing to piano score, for example, becomes quite 
a tricky task.

Do others on the list do similar stuff, and does anyone have any tips on how to make 
the task quicker, easier and/or more accurate? Or pointers to books/web pages on the 
subject?

I'm aware that this isn't _strictly_ a lilypond issue, but this is about as suitable a 
forum as I think I'm likely to find...
