I know basic Lilypond, and I'm extremely impressed at what it can do and at the quality of the scores it produces. If you can program then it should be pretty straightforward - it seems an order of magnitude easier than LaTex. There are some graphical interfaces too, though I've only ever written text files. If you're looking for a recording of the Brahms trio, try listening to the Ligeti trio too. It's not to everyone's tastes, but it is extremely impressive. I shall be looking up the trios Hans mentioned. For which, thanks.
