Greetings Brett, I am a Linux user through and through. I use LilyPond with Emacs. As for LaTeX, I find it useful when authoring purely textual documents. However, when a mix of text and music is involved, I use LilyPond's rather robust \markup and \markuplist commands, finding lilypond-book to be too cumbersome or specific. I have deep interest in csound, but the manual seems to assume so much knowledge by the perspective user from the outset that I have simply shyed away from it - which, incidentally, is less a criticism of the csound manual writers as it is ringing praise of all who have contributed to LilyPond documentation over the years!
