With regards to the many very-valid-varied comments, maybe should be a
"gallery" of how people do work with LP? I personally use my own editor, and
surely see different screen shots than probably everybody! I'm sure I could
provide a cool shot of TWO Windows DOS screens!
Seriously - I saw a link to a jEdit/Lilypond Tool page in this thread, and it
showed me a lot I'd never thought about or seen before. From my Microsoft/PC
perspective, shots showing how the files look in several editors seems like a
good idea to me. Certainly I was drawn to Lilypond by finding out how it
worked, but it seems that many times you have to beat people "upside the head"
with technical instructions any more. So a lot of pictures might be a good
idea, and/or a resource to see/read descriptions of how to work with different
tools.
THAT might be a way to get the point across that LP is not only
different/better/free but allows you to find the way that works best for your
tastes. Some people might actually LIKE Notepad!!
