Use to have Export to Lylipond in a menu or something like that. But I do prefer it without anchovies.

There are some programs that have the ability to "export to Lilypond". Look here:

http://www.lilypond.org/easier-editing.html#Programs-that-can-export-LilyPond-code

Some of these programs are quite good and really worth trying. But: keep in mind that learning to write LilyPond code manually, with a simple text editor or a dedicated editor like Frescobaldi, is really worth the effort. And not only if you want to write complex large scores. My experience is that LilyPond is also very suitable to write simple and small tunes. You only need to learn some simple LilyPond basics for simple tunes. Then writing LilyPond code directly is in fact easier and much faster than exporting LilyPond code from for example Rosegarden, finding that it exports an older LilyPond version, running convert-ly to update the code, fixing errors. And it is easier to fix errors in code that you write yourself, than correcting errors in automatically generated and exported code that often looks much more complex than what is really needed.
