Denemo seems to offer more "direct" input methods for easily transcribing music. The program can listen to rhythms and pitches separately and combine them, rendering the result with Lilypond (or, at least, that was all I was able to figure out before the site went down). It seems like a neat, light-weight tool which one could preferably use when transcribing music. For serious typesetting, Frescobaldi, http://musescore.org/ or http://abjad.mbrsi.org/ are probably better choices. Anyway, it's great to see yet another application tapping into Lilypond. So much work and knowledge has gone into that project.

Denemo has better Lilypond output than Musescore and is not merely a specialized text editor like Frescobaldi.
