The truth is that I just hate note edit for lilypond.
The tool for lilypond is denemo but the maintainer is doing his thesis,
I think and it is in temporary limbo.

If you can get the cvs to install it will actually edit the lilypond
files.


That said the question is what are you notating??

There has been a lot done with text editors for lilypond.
emacs and xemacs has a bunch of stuff,

vim also but I find it harder to find the files with each release, I
wrote my own ftplugin but it needs much work.

then there is jedit which has a lilypond mode.

The leap with lilpond comes when you finally realize that text is easier
to input then graphical notes.

with text your as quick as you can touch type, with graphics you must
mix typing with navigation.

This however is true for single line melodies.
Once you get into scores you need sly.
Or denemo. 
What denemo needs now is a shot of developer interest.
The concept is great and it could even be linked to a text editor to
dynamically/visually output the results of typing text.
