There are several GUI notation programs around opensource. Or one could run windows and lay out the bread for Sibelius. The notation programs 'noteedit', and 'denemo' (in particular), will export lilypond source. 'noteedit' is a more traditional, mouse selection, style of interface, while 'denemo' is oriented toward computer keyboard (not midi though it is supported, IIRC) input (keys a-g are used to create the notes on the staff, for example). But both produce graphical representations of the music being created/edited. Generally, I prefer denemo, for reasons related to typing, but both do work OK.
