Now that I think about it, I was originally just talking about  
"slamming in the pitches/durations"...
Once I factor in the slurs, articulations, dynamics, text, etc., I  
think I now fully agree with Valentin: "note entry" (including *all*  
score markings) is actually faster overall in Lilypond than in Fin-Sib.
