Often these things take complementary positives/negatives. I've walked through LilyPond/Denemo and the Sibelius demo and they look okay, but I dread taking the at least three weeks to really learn each one.

I know part of the choice is personal preference as regards interface, but can anyone suggest other advantages to one or the other? I would be grateful for any thoughts you have.
DENEMO MUSESCORE SOFTWARE
I've read every post I can find here about these programs - interesting that a search for the one word "LilyPond" is refused by this forum's software since the word is too common! I'm interested in notation only, no sequencer or DAW features, but I sure like quality in engraving. I see the price difference but it's just one program and I'd use it a lot for a long time. But touch screen such as Sibelius offers is not interesting a mouse is fine. If I went with LilyPond I'd have to use it through Denemo because, although I've done programming I'm much more a GUI kind of guy.

I'm considering switching to another notation program and it seems it would be one of these two.
