Don't forget Denemo (http://denemo.sourceforge.net/) which is 
maintained by Adam Tee and others. It's a WhatYouSeeAllYouWant thing, 
i.e. it's really ugly on screen until the you press the lilypond export 
button, then the output's beautiful as we'd all expect.

Apparently, there's a DarwinPort of it. Also RPM, and of course a 
debian package. No Windows port AFAIK, at last since v0.5 and the sound 
didn't work on that.

I'll stick to emacs myself, but some folk might like it :)
