Mr. Harkins,
Two or three hops are not too much for anyone that reads and follows directions.

I can. New users are likely to start with a download. So, the downloads page
could include a section that explains what it means to download only LilyPond.
Here is the most straightforward place to point to Frescobaldi/Denemo/etc.
OK, the download page has a link to "Text input" (which people are likely to
ignore, because they're on this page looking for files to download -- if it
doesn't look like an installer, it won't draw attention):
~~
Note: LilyPond is a text-based music engraver; it is more similar to a
programming language than a graphical score editing program. Before downloading
LilyPond, please read about our Text input.
~~
Downloads --> Text input --> Easier editing *if* they read the page carefully.
Sorry, but two or three hops is not the most straightforward path.
