Tiny bit of context: LilyPond is basically LaTeX for sheet music.
Really good for transcribing and if you enjoy working with text.
But it does have somewhat of a learning curve, which might not be worth it for occasional use...
I have written a template that I can just add notes to in a very simple notation and I get three scores, one tabbed for chromatic, one tabbed for a diatonic, and one without tabs to practice sight reading. Now that I've done the work, it's super easy to take notes (no pun intended, but not a bad one) and embed it in my org journal or whatever. It did take me three or four hours to get everything working just the way I wanted. The output is gorgeous!
