Over a decade ago, I was doing some composing and so I tried every free composition program, as well as trials of commercial ones.
In the end, only LilyPond was easy and intuitive to use, due to relying on text editing that you already know, instead of incomprehensible editing paradigms where weird, invisible things happen.
I was easily able to find out how to include everything I wanted in the output, like fingering indications and chord diagrams.
The start of that set, has, to put it blunty, moved in.
Dorico, in particular, is light years ahead, having an actually useable GUI while still being able to do advanced layout stuff, some of which would take hundreds of lines of custom macros in lilypond.
I can enter 100 bars in Dorico faster than I could 5 in lilypond… 10+ years ago when I was using it at least weekly.
