Depending on how complex your music is, I'd suggest either abc or
lilypond.

abc is more stable, and is very good for stuff with a single line of
melody and a single line of lyrics; lilypond can do amlmost anything
but is fairly unstable (we've gone from versions 1.3.90 to 1.3.103 in
the last week)

For very beautiful output, but a bitch of an input language, use
musixtex.

I personally use lilypond.  The 1.2.17 version is the last stable
version.  There are .deb archives, and (I think) rpms available for
it in the more-or-less standard places.
