Similarly LilyPond is probably not the most appropriate tool for most
people just looking to print out some chord charts for their coffee house
open mic night. I don't think that it's presented as the tool for those
folks- LilyPond is aimed at the people who want that fine-grained control
over output (although for people like me, writing lead sheets for jazz
combos, the default ways of doing things works well for almost everything
and only a few tweaks are necessary. A few minutes and I've got charts
for everyone that are vastly more readable than Real Book charts). I find
it faster than MuseScore, which I also tried, and the output is vastly
better than Finale.
To a large extent, that was exactly what started me with Lily. I use
Windows and a low cost notation tool that doesn't do anything like decent
printing. I just wanted something that printed out better, and wasn't
expensive. I found Lily and have been with her ever since.
