Hi Marcus:

I too need a program that will notate music as well as 
something that will take files from that notation and
create MIDI files, and play them. 

As I look I see that there are many Linux music programs 
available, but I have no experience with them. I took the 
opportunity to look. 

I looked in the the Packages.gz files from the Debian 
Potato distribution. There many programs that refer to music. 
Some of these in  .../dists/potato/contrib/...  are
	musiclyr
	pmx

In .../dists/potato/main/... some are
	lillypond
	abc2ps
	abcmidi
	rosegarden

In .../dists/potato/non-free/... some are
	abc2mtex
	musixtex
	opustex

You can look in the Packages files to see the description
of the package. 

I hope this helps, and if you decide to use one of these
I'd like to know which one, and how well it does the job.
