This may also be useful for clarifying (sorry for the somewhat
cryptic location, but that is "unmerged" content:
Hi
Marcelo,
I
see. The so called GUI on the mac is just LilyPad, a very crude
basic text editor which also allows you to run the lilypond
command. It can hardly be described as a GUI platform for
lilypond.
This
tool is not available on Linux systems precisely because Linux
users have a superabundance of powerful text editors available
to them such as emacs, vi, and gedit and things like Atom
nowadays. Using emacs and the command line on linux is a fast,
powerful and effective way of working. Urs Liska has written
extensively on the power and advantage of a full text based
workflow for engraving.
As
far as Frescobaldi goes, it is difficult to imagine anybody
objecting to it. It offers a reasonable text editor, but more
importantly point and click in the PDF which takes you directly
to the location in the source code file that produced that
object (which by the way you can still do with emacs and so on
anyway,s ince that is a lilypond feature and not a Frescobaldi
one). Also, highlighting source code allows you to jump to tha
point in the score immediately. I prodcude extraordinarily dense
scores for colleagues of the New Complexity School, and without
Frescobaldi I would be utterly lost.
Hope
this my be useful.

Thanks for the reply. When I say "Gui" I mean the same
interface I
have on Mac OS, for instance. I mean the possibility to
work
directly on Lilipond without Frescobaldi or Denemo,
writing code on
Lilypond's own text editor and compiling it in Lilypond as
well.
When I downloaded Lilipond for Linux and installed it, no
icon for
launch the software appears, no direct access to it, just
by
Frescobaldi. So, I cannot work only with Lilypond's
software, I
have to use others, like Denemo and Frescobaldi. Instead
of the
'pond' icon, like when I installed it on Mac, I
have...nothing.
