You might want to look at PD (pure data), http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp written by miller puckette, though I'm currently running it in Debian (still hacking for sound, there) and RH7 (TK problem there, awaiting news), so depending on dist you might have install problem/s. Also runs on NT (can't read soundfiles from disk, though) All MIDI needs can be resolved fairly easily in PD.
Hope that helps.

I remember someone from the user group mentioning that he was interested in music applications for Linux but despite looking back over the last few months of mailing list archives I haven't discovered who.
Anyway I'd be interested to hear whether anyone has found software to do the following:
Capture MIDI events from an external midi controller keyboard to a MIDI file whilst at the same time playing them on the sound card, despite the fact that the soundcard doesn't have a midi synth on-board.
I have found timidity which is able to play MIDI files on my sound card (Soundblaster PCI = ES1371) but there doesn't seem to be a way to use this real time, i.e. it expects the data in a file.
I also tried a couple of MIDI sequencer programs, one of which is the one built in to rosegarden and the other whose name I forget but both complained that the high-level MIDI interface to the sound card wasn't available and refused to do anything useful.
Music Typesetting. Currently I have Rosegarden but I find that entering notes with this program is very slow, so I'd be interested to hear if there is anything else out there.
Thanks in Advance, Steve.
