I use emacs as the editor.

I always use voices put into variable (unless for testing short stuff).
Since I do mostly set choral works done by someone else, voices is a
natural way to express the music.

Also many works I typeset are in more than one parts, so I use latex to
make a booklet of the music together with some text. That also allows me
to include music from differen works in the same booklet.

I always put in barchecks. I have a simplicit program [1], that puts the 
bar number after the bar check symbol. Also I write in all barnumbers 
in the music (on paper) I'm transcribing. That makes it easy to find 
possible errors and correlate to the original.
