Yes.
Get Zynaddsubfx, Alsa modular synth and Specimen at least.

quite a bit but you can do other stuff with it also

You can compose music in every timing you wish to with any serious
seqencer and lmms is serious enough - it just defaults to 4/4 but this
can be changed (though the beat-module is 4/4 only, you can work with
different timings using the Piano-Roll editor.

it is somwhat hard to install/setup in Ubuntu but should work OK with
some effort. Of course the VST-plugs need to be open source to be
rebuild as Linux .so-libs. Dlls  work with wine only.

good luck ;-)
