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

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

+
+NoteEdit
+--------
+
+NoteEdit is a music scorewriter for Linux and other Unix-like computer
+operating systems.
+
+It can function as a notation-based GUI for MIDI composers and as a score
+preparation utility for a variety of output targets.
+
+CMN (Common Music Notation)
+---------------------------
+
+CMN (Common Music Notation) is a free western music notation package written
+in Common Lisp.

+MuseScore
+---------
+
+MuseScore is a music scorewriter for Linux and Microsoft Windows. MuseScore is

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

+
+TuxGuitar
+---------
+
+TuxGuitar is a free score writer and midi sequencer written in Java and
+released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License similar to
+the commercial Guitar Pro. It is intented to help guitarists
+write\edit\play\manage songs transcription in the form of tablatures or
+scores. It has its own file format but, in addition, can also import\export
+from\to Guitar Pro proprietary file format, import Power Tab and TablEdit
+tabulatures, and export tabulatures as LilyPond scores.
+
+It also supports exporting as ASCII tabulatures, MusicXML and Adobe PDFs, and
+loading and exporting MIDI files.

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

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