The demo versions of PrintMusic and Allegro 2007 (cut down versions of 
Finale, PM the most basic, and Allegro more full-featured) are fully 
functional for 30 days, after which you have limited printing and no saving. 
The downloads include the complete manual, so you do stand a good chance of 
being able to figure out how to do what you want. They can both import MIDI 
or MusicXML.

There have been sporadic attempts to run them under Wine, with varying 
success; in general MIDI input and playback has been unsuccessful, but the 
notation side seems to work usually.

If you need to ask any questions, the webforums http://forum.makemusic.com/ 
are a good place.
