Although you can't edit or view them properly in Rosegarden, you can use Rosegarden to prepare staffs that are then exported as multivoice staffs for Lilypond to process. The results can be very good if you get lucky, or can need quite a lot of tweaking if you don't. But Rosegarden's Lilypond output is far better than it used to be, thanks to lots of good work from Heikki Johannes Junes.
