Frescobaldi

A text editor for LilyPond source with integrated music view and midi
player. The music view has a two-way connection with the notes in the
source text, even when the document is modified, notes still remain
connected. Included are powerful tools such as a score wizard, a
snippet manager, and functions to alter music, such as transpose,
change the rhythm, hyphenate lyrics, add articulations etc. Frescobaldi
runs on OS X, Linux and MS Windows.

Development is very active, with 5 releases in the past year. There is a
small development team.
