I use nted -- to input and play and teach singing
http://vsr.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/nted/nted.xhtml
Basically gui oriented but for single line melodies can use keyboard.

It has guitar tablature see

but that is not a notation I am familiar with (I only use it for piano
(keyboard) and singing)
