Seems like a month is too short a time before giving up. I really have no other experience with other software like Finale or Sibelius, so I can't say anythign about them, but I have been very pleased with what I can do with LP. But it did take about 6 months before I was really getting it (not that I really do, I'm constantly learning more about my dinosaur version 2.6)...
But I am a computer programmer so the way we create scores makes sense to me. Others might like a more "point and click" environment. Best of luck.

I’ve been around for a short while only. A month with lilypond and 3 weeks on the list. Made a couple of scores, quite complex ones. But for each and every one I had to fiddle for hours and hours trying to grab all the details. All the while I had Sibelius at the ready and whenever I did fallback finished the score in record time. This is not going to continue I thought. I’d rather have a score that looks 85% than no score at all. So for now it’s quits with Lilypond. Perhaps I’ll be back, I just don’t know. All that helped, many thanks. I have now disabled the posts from the list, any reply have to be personal.
Hou je goed / Keep well,
