I think you're right.  I have noticed the following scenario:  I will be
working on a particular problem (with LilyPond but also with similar
"coding" tasks) and I get a lot of satisfaction out of finally solving it. 
Then when I tell someone else about it, it doesn't seem like such a big deal
to them because they are just focusing on the results and don't appreciate
the difficulties in the process.  So I've realized that the satisfaction I
get is often proportional to the challenge of the task rather than to the
results.  Very much like a logical puzzle or game.
