Hi Stan, *Frescobaldi* etc. have been mentioned. It helps a lot and snippets can ease the workflow.
When I find midi files, I often (60% of the cases) do this to save me from entering all music again: *midi2ly* + a lot of search&replace for durations etc. + serious rewriting of anything that is beyond the content of one voice. For the other 40% it is faster to enter it by hand. On a meta-level, it might be interesting to use a version control system for the ly input files: http://lilypondblog.org/2014/01/why-use-version-control-for-engraving-scores/ http://lilypondblog.org/2013/09/write-lilypond-code-for-version-control/ This is perhaps not about speed but reliability and control.
