I encountered that too, and found myself arranging melodies in OctaMED in the Amiga emulator UAE and then importing them into Haskore. :-) I long wanted an editor which gives immediate audio feedback when you press a key. Either the computer keyboard or MIDI input should be used as note source. But I have not enough experience with an editor and its configuration. (NEdit, Emacs, Eclipse?) At least I was able to configure NEdit in a way, that you can mark a variable identifier of a Music object and then play it via a MIDI file player.
