ABC is considerably easier to learn and use than LilyPond, but perhaps not quite as powerful. It uses a different text format (ABC) and also produces excellent results. Similar to LilyPond is abcm2ps, which also takes a text file and compiles it into printable notation. t would be interesting to hear from someone who actually knows both programs. But I'm just basing this assessment on what I've seen on their web site, not on actual experience.
In Denemo, it appears that you edit in one window and see a very low quality rendition of your music rendered by Denemo itself, but as you edit, you can also see a preview of what the actual LilyPond results will look like in another window. In MuseScore, you see your score as it will print and you work that directly. My expectation is that even with Denemo, it would feel extremely clumsy in comparison to a true WYSIWYG program like MuseScore. It does an excellent job, but without a WYSIWYG front end like Denemo to help you create the input file, it's definitely a lot of work to learn and use.
#DENEMO EDIT WITH LILYPOND PDF#
LilyPond itself is for real, but it is not an editor - it is a program that takes a text file in the language it has defined, and turns it into printable notation (eg, a PDF file). My impression is that this is rather crude in comparison to MuseScore, since AFAIK it is not truly a WYSIWYG editor but is actually just a graphical front end to the LilyPond music typesetting system.
Probably the main alternative here is Denemo. I'm not aware of any such comparison tables, but nor am I aware of any serious competition to compare with.
