I use pencil and paper to compose the first draft. Then I move to Emacs to input the notes. Either way it's certainly possible to compose from Emacs directly, especially if you're doing this programatically, so I guess it depends on what you're trying to do. + + +## Can one use MIDI/USB instruments (like keyboards) to input Lilypond?
