I have a client who is currently an Apple user but wants to make the jump to Linux. He needs to purchase a new computer soon with the intent of:
1. Capturing MIDI input from what he plays on a keyboard
2. Graphically modifying and cleaning up what was captured
3. Printing in full musical notation the final file so he doesn't have to transcribe it by hand

How feasable is this in Linux? I need to be able to set up a system that he can operate as a fairly sophisticated average user when I'm not there.

Could somebody point me in the right direction? I've done a few searches, but since I don't even know how to phrase what I'm looking for, so I haven't found anything.

Thanks

NoteEdit can do (1) and (2), and export into a number of different printing file formats (3).

I'm using it regularly for music input, helping my mother who is music teacher. For typesetting I export into MusiXTeX, but found that for best printing results the exported file may need some manual tweeking, as MusiXTeX is a very powerful language.

Awesome... Thank you kindly
