+1. On the other hand, I do not recommend using NotePad for this. I don't think you really need syntax highlighting, but parentheses matching and automatic indentation is incredibly helpful.

Personally, I use Emacs with lilypond-mode and a few .ly templates I wrote by hand, but I happen to run Frescobaldi every now and then for its Lyric hyphenator feature. For larger scores, I typically also write a Makefile, and I use Okular as preview.
