choosing an partition editor ?

[MDesigner]

hi

as we can see : http://lilypond.org/web/about/automated-engraving/software

(Sorry it's in french)

A lot of software in the contemporary musical notation can't be a picture of 
the imagination, like index who give the first asynchrone measure... but all 
of these are differents.

When you're talking about lilypond, only a few persons take care about this 
picture. And more, if they have to edit scripts. Eventhough they should care, 
but this is another problem.

You can improve your notations with real big orchestra, and you can improve 
your own experience like talking between musicians in a little society...

And the difference is ?

we want real scores for professionnals or i want to communicate with many of  
people eventhough they use closed sources...

So, eventually, gnu / linux offers a large choice :

Lilypond
notedit
musescore
rosegarden, but it's a multiplexing recorders and midi editor, like muse.
and some others... non exhaustive list
