> Notation can be done with Lilypond,
Uh ... no, it can't. Oh, you might be able to enter notes and get sheet
music out of it, but I have never heard of anyone who begins with a
finished composition. When you want to place notes on a staff, you
typically want to hear what it sounds like after you do that. And for
that, Rosegarden is excellent. I can lay out my piece on the staffs, and
then export to LilyPond and get a beautifully finished piece. I have found
Rosegarden to be quirky WRT the way it builds the file that gets sent to
LilyPond, but I never want to actually compose in LilyPond.
Just my 2c.
