Hi Tobin!

Back several years when I first tried out LilyPond, I was using Sibelius and
Finale very regularly and often inputting directly into the software without
pencil and paper (thanks to *looming *deadlines)...

However, these days I almost always compose at the piano, using pencil and
paper, then once I get a 99% done pencil copy, I begin at the computer. I
now use LilyPond pretty much for all my recent personal compositions, and
Finale when I am required to for work and whatnot.

So, my process is pencil/paper first, until piece is essentially complete -
then engraving straight into LilyPond!
