arranging and hitting play, moving things around (instrumentation-wise),
hitting play again ... something just not possible with lilypond--at
least not with the tools I'm aware of.
I spent a few hours with Rosegarden this morning and I'll probably keep
at it but it seems MuseScore comes closest to my needs.
thanks to all for the tips ...

It's been a while since I researched notation
software. What are the major
players in the linux world? What is being actively maintained? What is new
and cutting edge?
MuseScore & Rosegarden are probably the most mature score editors, at
least the ones I've tried. MuseScore is more in spirit to Sibelius and
Finale, whereas Rosegarden can be used as a DAW with JACK, and
supports LADSPA & DSSI plugins, although does not yet support LV2.
Nothing beats Lilypond, though. I use it for all of my composing, not
just for printing.
