I looked at the linuxmusicians.com site and found a forum about notation 
editors. I haven't really liked Rosegarden for that, it just takes me 
too long to enter notes with a mouse. I tried Denemo, which allows you 
to use the computer keyboard to enter notes, but also had problems with 
it. MuseScore (mscore) looks interesting and the package is already in 
Lenny and Hardy. I plan on installing it on my laptop, which runs 
Xubuntu (it's an old machine without much memory) and see if it works.

A few things appeal to me about MuseScore - it has a nice online user 
handbook, you can use the computer keyboard to enter notes, etc., you 
can add chord symbols and it supports repeats.

My needs are kind of simple, I just want something to transcribe bass 
lines and I want to be able to do it quicker than by writing in a 
manuscript tablet. I don't care about midi for this purpose, although 
MuseScore does use midi too. I have high hopes, I'll let you know what I 
think. Has anyone here used this package?

Cheers!
