Mr. Wakeling,

Thank you for the reply and the explanation. Seems to me to be a simple
solution for some of the objections.

I would imagine that when you install Frescobaldi, it updates the Windows
file config such that Frescobaldi becomes the default program with which to
open files with the .ly extension.

That _will_ be quick, because it's just opening a text file in a specialized
text editor.  It's not the same as running Lilypond itself on an input file.
