I agree, I do arranging for school bands, choirs, barbershop, and my own work, etc. and I've been asked by other teachers to typeset pieces for them as side jobs after they saw my lily output. The real power of lily over GUI programs is in the ability to make templates and re-use them, and in the ability to set up command-line "jobs" that can compile and assemble whole books, by simply using whatever scripting host your platform provides. The level of consistency is so much better than GUI programs where you have to do everything as a "one off", separately working/massaging each document individually.
