Hello,
Welcome on the list :)
I am checking out different types of music notation software. When I am trying to read about Lilypond, the language switches from English to German, and then 2 times it switched from English to French.
This is weird; can you tell us which browser and operating system you use? I assume you've already read http://lilypond.org/web/about/browser-language.html
I've used Finale for 8 years. It's very complex and hard to use. What I like to do best, is play a song on the MIDI keyboard and then have the notes appear on the screen. Then I print them. I am looking for software that will do this conveniently.
It depends on how you define "and then"... LilyPond is a non-graphical music notation interface. i.e. you can use a MIDI keyboard to enter your music, but what you'll see instantly appear on your screen will *not* be a score like in Finale, but some code, which you'll have to compile to get a (wonderfully displayed) score at the end. LilyPond can be quite simple to use (it took my grandmother a couple hours to learn; now she uses it frequently), but it might not be appropriated for someone who's used to graphical interfaces.
