Harm,
There are many roads to Lilypond as you know. My main road has been through
Frescobaldi. Wilbert has an exceptional application that includes a
ScoreWizard which creates the LP structure. One hardly needs to know more
than how to type notes and durations to use it. I've almost always found LP
default output sufficient for my personal needs (noone in my church choir
will care at all about the kinds of detail that many people on this list
care about :-) So I've not really needed to dig too deeply and there's
always LSR for ideas.
Now, I've become more savvy over the nearly seven years I've been using
FB/LP and have posted to this list when I've encountered issues that Google
could not help me solve. But though I know understanding the way that LP
works is likely beneficial, actually digging into the docs to get a firm
grasp on all the contexts, etc. and how they fit together is, well, not
high on my priorities.
Your post was simple, elegant, and informative and gave me a bit of
insight.
