GUI (was: Re: No Work!

[Kees van den Doel]

If lilypond came with a rudimentary GUI I think it would at least octuple the 
number of people trying it out.

Something simple like a window with File/compile menus, a text editor pane, 
compile messages at bottom,
and a score preview. No more features needed, it's just to get people who don't 
know what a shell or
a text editor is to try it out. They can then start the "lilypond program", 
open various example files, change a few notes, and they're hooked!
