We use Lilypond to typeset my wife's choral arrangements and also lead sheets for her jazz compositions. The quality of the typeset music is first rate. For what it's worth, my wife went from knowing nothing about computers to learning Lilypond, a text editor and finding her way around a computer an a Linux system in about 1 month -- during which she also typeset 14 jazz lead sheets and 3 of her gospel-jazz choral arrangements. My part in this was to get her started by creating the Lilypond templates for her to use and also helping her get familiar with the basics of edit-interpret-display process on one of our Linux boxes.
A great piece of software and a very helpful and knowledgeable user/development community!
