I have been using jEdit (http://jedit.org) and i absolutely love it.  The 
seller for me is the (s)FTP support.  It treats the remote file system 
just as if it were local.  I can access it by URL 
(sftp://address@hidden/my/dir) instead of having to manage "sites."  Even if 
you don't need the FTP feature, I strongly recommend giving it a shot.  It 
highlights Lilypond syntax and will let you work with UTF-8 for those 
pesky foreign lyrics :)

Cheers!
