You should tell the Rosegarden developers that because they make the 
claim on the website that it is a score editor. :-) Granted, Rosegarden 
is missing some stuff that NoteEdit probably has (multiple voices per 
staff, easy insertion/deletion of measures), but Rosegarden has always 
worked "out of the box" for me, which is why I use it, whereas NoteEdit 
was problematic (see below).

Yes, I have tried it. It kept crashing on me, and I had trouble getting 
it to find my MIDI devices (the TSE3 library, I think, was the issue, it 
was segfaulting on startup), and refused to import any of my MIDI files. 
It doesn't support Jack either, which is crucial for the setup I am 
using for composing and recording.
