However, LilyPondTool is created for some very important purpose, and some unique features: - code completion - if you like browsing the documentation all the way to find out the exact name and syntax of properties and commands, or you can remember everything you need, don't use it - score setup wizard with customizable templates - if you can easily read and remember the structure of a LilyPond file, and you can find and modify an appropriate lilypond file faster and easier than visually setting up the score and selecting its properties, and then don't use it - lilypond documentation in indexed full-text searchable help - if you like browsing some 10MB HTML files instead of just entering some keywords and quickly browse through the hits, then don't use it - instant error report - if you never make any mistakes, and you always close your braces and beams and slurs, then don't use it - automatic hyphenation of lyrics - if you write lyrics, but you find it easier to manually hyphenate it, instead of leaving it to the OpenOffice hyphenation dictionaries, and just making some corrections (which are needed because text hyphenation is not the same as lyrics), don't use it - macros and templates for many LilyPond constructs and it's easy to create new ones - repeats, articulations applied to note blocks, text markups, general tweaks
I must admit that we have some not-working features, but have much more working features than emacs has. And (besides lyqi) we have all features working that emacs has.
