Although Denemo is a GUI it can be set up to let you type in music using

I have heard many positive things about the power of Denemo. But everytime
I decided to give it a try, I soon gave up because I just didn't like the
interface and wasn't able to find my workflow in it.
Personal taste I guess.
I'm very happy with Gvim, Frescobaldi, and MuseScore and don't need much
more options.
I would be wary of any approach using MusicXML as a conversion format as
it is not a format well-suited to representing music notation. (Not as
unsuitable as MIDI, but still very poor).
I agree that no miracles should be expected from MusicXML. But it has
helped me to speed up export from MuseScore to LilyPond in cases when I
needed it. And there is still enough room for improving MusicXML support
both from/to LilyPond and from/to MuseScore. So the total situation might
improve in future. But that's a different topic.
