I may be getting in over my head with this question. I'm a new user of Lilypond, transitioning away from Musescore. I've been using Frescobaldi a bit, and am impressed with it so far. However, I see there's an Emacs mode available through org-babel called "Arrange Mode". I'm a user of Emacs (though far from an expert!), and I love the environment. Does anyone have familiarity with both, who could highlight a few of the differences? Frescobaldi has many features I doubt I'll use much (such as the Quick Insert menu). Mainly what I like about it is the integration of the windows--text entry, music display, lilypond messages, and MIDI playback. I wonder if that could be done with a dedicated Emacs instance.
I don't know the Emacs mode so I won't make a recommendation (which would be very much biased as I'm a heavy Frescobaldi user).
But what I think could be an interesting aspect for you is: If you're already an Emacs user you might be able to integrate LilyPond work well with your existing toolchains with that.
I think I'm right that one can transpose scores in Frescobaldi? And maybe not in Arrange Mode. That could be a deciding factor.
I'm not completely sure what your use case is here. But in general you wouldn't use your editor to transpose a score as a whole (i.e. change all the pitches in the input file). If you want to do that you'd usually let LilyPond do the work for you.
