Thanks for pointing me to nted. It looks *very* useful. Simple, clean, easy to learn, and lots of keyboard shortcuts.

But the most amazing thing about it is: it doesn't try to produce its own sound or have any sound engine of its own! This is, I think, its most brilliant feature. No soundfonts, no sound drivers, nothing. All it does is access the ALSA sequencer and send MIDI to my JACK softsynths. So I can note something out and hear it with my own synths.

Some bandmates and I were just lamenting how paper and pencil is so much easier to deal with than most notation software out there. Maybe not. nted looks like it might even be easier than paper and pencil.
