Is there *any* tool around that offers more than a notepad application
but doesn't try to be an IDE?

I mostly use jEdit.
Me too.
IDE-wise, I feel safer with minimalist homegrown, even if primitive.
Editorwise, I don't want/need templates, prompting or autocompletion.
Some relevant things jEdit offers vs Notepad:
- several views of one buffer, eg for several voices in one file
- splittable text area, eg for several voices in several files
- hypersearch, eg for navigating between similar things
- syntax highlighting - maybe a bit weak but good enough for me
And I occasionally use
- bracket matching - especially with Scheme!
- rectangular selection
- multiple selection
- (my halfbaked transposition) macros
There was a lilypondtool-plugin for jEdit warranting LilyPond-specific
highlighting and autocompletition, though the developer stopped work
on it. Last release was 12.1.2010, afaict.
I found jEdit's LilyPond indenting unsatisfactory, and worked with
Bertalan Fodor to improve it (just before that date).
It was still confused by Scheme sections then, but I now have
a rather clunky way to cope with one level of nesting - all I need.
Cheers,
Robin
