There are some programs that have the ability to "export to Lilypond". Look
here:
http://www.lilypond.org/easier-editing.html#Programs-that-can-export-LilyPond-code
Some of these programs are quite good and really worth trying. But: keep in
mind that learning to write LilyPond code manually, with a simple text editor
or a dedicated editor like Frescobaldi, is really worth the effort. And not
only if you want to write complex large scores. My experience is that LilyPond
is also very suitable to write simple and small tunes. You only need to learn
some simple LilyPond basics for simple tunes. Then writing LilyPond code
directly is in fact easier and much faster than exporting LilyPond code from
for example Rosegarden, finding that it exports an older LilyPond version,
running convert-ly to update the code, fixing errors. And it is easier to fix
errors in code that you write yourself, than correcting errors in automatically
generated and exported code that often looks much more complex than what is
really needed.
