I installed NoteEdit on Debian unstable last night... it installed 
cleanly (there have been some issues lately with unstable with broken 
dependencies) and started up without a hitch. MUCH more stable now. 
Couldn't print since it required some external program 
(abcsomethingorother), and I was able to import some MIDI (an old MIDI I 
created with Rosegarden2 many years ago imported perfectly and I was 
able to play it back). Oddly, NoteEdit didn't break the piece up into 
measures. A larger MIDI file locked up the application completely and I 
had to kill it manually.

I'll play around with it some more, it will be useful for playing with 
ideas and harmonies, since it's much more lightweight than Rosegarden. 
For serious recording and integration with Ardour + jack, though, I will 
still have to use Rosegarden.
