Check this section :

http://www.midish.org/manual.html#ev

You can compose note on/off events and save the sequence as a song or
export the song to .mid

There are also these two other options:

alsaseq: http://pp.com.mx/python/alsaseq/project.html

mididings: http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/


Teqqer also looks very promising.
