    11 GNU LilyPond is a computer program for music engraving. One of LilyPond's
       
    12 major goals is to produce scores that are engraved with traditional layout
       
    13 rules, reflecting the era when scores were engraved by hand.

    21 Denemo is a music notation program for Linux that helps you quickly prepare
       
    22 notation for publishing with LilyPond. Denemo does NOT strive to display all
       
    23 notation graphically or be the most complete graphic environment. Denemo is a
       
    24 front-end to LilyPond. If you are looking for a WYSIWYG editor Denemo may not
       
    25 be for you. If you are looking for a way to quickly prepare scores for final
       
    26 editing in LilyPond give Denemo a whirl.

    51 MuseScore is a music scorewriter for Linux and Microsoft Windows. MuseScore is
       
    52 a WYSIWYG editor, complete with support for score playback and import/export

    62 
       
    63 Rosegarden is an integrated audio/MIDI sequencer with a variety of user
       
    64 interfaces, including an excellent notation-based GUI. Rosegarden's support
       
    65 for standard notation was an essential aspect of the program's original
       
    66 design. LilyPond export capability appeared with Rosegarden.
       
    67 
       
    68 Rosegarden is a free software digital audio workstation program developed for
       
    69 Linux with ALSA and KDE. It acts as an audio and MIDI sequencer, scorewriter
       
    70 and musical composition and editing tool. It is intended to be a free
       
    71 replacement for such applications as Cubase.
       
    72 
       
    73 Rosegarden does not provide a built-in software synthesizer, so it requires a
       
    74 hardware MIDI synthesizer, a soft synthesizer such as FluidSynth or
       
    75 TiMidity++, or a synthesizer plugin in order to make any sound from MIDI
       
    76 compositions. Recent versions of Rosegarden support the DSSI software
       
    77 synthesizer plugin interface, and can use some Windows VST plugins through an
       
    78 adapter.

   107 MusE is a MIDI/Audio sequencer with recording and editing capabilities written
       
   108 by Werner Schweer. MusE aims to be a complete multitrack virtual studio for
       
   109 Linux: it currently has no support under other platforms as it relies on
       
   110 Linux-only technologies, including JACK and ALSA.

   119 FluidSynth, formerly known as iiwusynth, is a free open source program which
       
   120 synthesizes using SoundFont technology without need for a SoundFont-compatible
       
   121 soundcard, and the size of loaded SoundFont banks is limited by the amount of
       
   122 RAM available. There is a GUI for FluidSynth called Qsynth which is also open
       
   123 source. Both are available in most Linux distributions; compiling them for
       
   124 Windows is also possible.
