Mr. Harkins, Two or three hops are not too much for anyone that reads and follows directions.

I can. New users are likely to start with a download. So, the downloads page could include a section that explains what it means to download only LilyPond. Here is the most straightforward place to point to Frescobaldi/Denemo/etc. OK, the download page has a link to "Text input" (which people are likely to ignore, because they're on this page looking for files to download -- if it doesn't look like an installer, it won't draw attention): ~~ Note: LilyPond is a text-based music engraver; it is more similar to a programming language than a graphical score editing program. Before downloading LilyPond, please read about our Text input. ~~ Downloads --> Text input --> Easier editing *if* they read the page carefully. Sorry, but two or three hops is not the most straightforward path. hjh PS: Thick Prince to Blackadder: "I say, I can't think of anything I could do with a woman that I couldn't do with you."
