This is some good criticism. The cons you mention are, however, what makes Lilypond able to produce truly good-looking scores, which is -as you say- a plus. I would add that your challenge is a tough one: to write complex, non-standard scores. I remember you asking something regarding ties between different voices, for example, and those are difficult to express in text, but really easy to express using a GUI (press some 'tie' button, click one head, click another head, done.) So yes, in your particular case, doing that in a good editor like Sibelius should be easier. (But I'm _sure_ Lilypond produces a better looking score!) Anyways, I hope you manage to get around. Sibelius _is_ a great piece of software, no point on negating that. But, in my case, I write scores just for the fun of it, so I cannot spend US$600 just upload free things to the series of tubes...
