Neither am I. I have tried Denemo and Noteedit and after learning abcm
and now lilypond, I find that ascii music entry is much easier than gui.
I heard a rumor that Igor (I am not sure of the exact name) is comeing
out with a version for Linux???
But don't give up on Lilypond so quick.
There are a few tricks that helped me get over the initial learning
curve.
1. Read the documentation
2. Use templates. I have problems getting brackets to match until I
started with a template.
3. Choose a text editor that makes note entry easier emacs or vim.
4. Read the Lilypond users group emails, they are great and it is a
fantastic group full of extremely helpful and patient people!!!
