Steve, Just to give some reassurance, I also would not call myself a programmer, but I really appreciate all that Lilypond can do...much more than Finale Notepad. As for bugs, I know there are some, but for what I use it for, they're not an issue. And they seem to get fixed quickly, so if you do happen to find one, be sure to report it. Also, from reading the user lists, there are almost always workarounds. The Lilypond Snippet Repository, the documentation (which is good and getting better) and other helpful users and developers will all help you do anything you could want to do with Lilypond. Welcome!
