I think there is not a single simple trick. I guess you are entering
leadsheets with chords and lyrics? How fast can you read notes and how fast
can type on the keyboard?

I can tell only my MO. I created a template and enter the notes for the
first voice, second voice, chords,... as variables. To control line- and
pagebreaks I often use a hidden voice. Lyrics mostly I search at the net and
do copy&paste.

>From my experience I can say it is a matter of practice. For my first
Lilypond sheets it felt if I needed ages. Not this works really fast, but I
have to admit that I can read notes very well and type rather quick on the
keyboard.

Greetings,
Manuela
