I tried out Frescobaldi last night. I don't think it adds anything that can't be done with, say, emacs in Lilypond mode. That's true, but with emacs they remain capability forever and never feature. Think of templates and zero configuration for example. Bert ___

Staying in Windows, you can run a Windows install of Lilypond, and add to it jEdit with the LilypondTool plugin. The advantages are a single computing environment, and jEdit+Lilytool gives the same functionality as Frescobaldi, including the link from .PDF to input. I wouldn't say "same fun
