This is some good criticism. The cons you mention are, however, what
makes Lilypond able to produce truly good-looking scores, which is -as
you say- a plus.
I would add that your challenge is a tough one: to write complex,
non-standard scores. I remember you asking something regarding ties
between different voices, for example, and those are difficult to
express in text, but really easy to express using a GUI (press some
'tie' button, click one head, click another head, done.) So yes, in
your particular case, doing that in a good editor like Sibelius should
be easier.
(But I'm _sure_ Lilypond produces a better looking score!)
Anyways, I hope you manage to get around. Sibelius _is_ a great piece
of software, no point on negating that. But, in my case, I write
scores just for the fun of it, so I cannot spend US$600 just upload
free things to the series of tubes...
