I guess I asked this question because I'm not sure whether or not I should
first learn Lilypond syntax and then see if I want/need to use tools besides
it.
I recommend doing so. I'm not a very skilled user yet, but it appears
certain to me that you'll better understand how LilyPond works if you
learn it's syntax.
+1. On the other hand, I do not recommend using NotePad for this. I
don't think you really need syntax highlighting, but parentheses
matching and automatic indentation is incredibly helpful.

Personally, I use Emacs with lilypond-mode and a few .ly templates I
wrote by hand, but I happen to run Frescobaldi every now and then for
its Lyric hyphenator feature. For larger scores, I typically also write
a Makefile, and I use Okular as preview.
