It could probably not be very hard to write a similar GUI where
you edit a pianoroll to make festival sing.
There is a much better speech synthesizer, known as DECtalk which can sing
quite well, and it is very easy to programme. The nicer thing is, it is
available for Linux as well! I have it here, so I will did up a text file,
and post the resulting OGG if anybody is interested :)

Yes it is, but it doesn't take away the fact that as a speech synth, it is
fantastic. However, it only outputs data at 11025 16 bit mono, and uses
OSS, so it is not exactly useful in a real-time sense. That is where
Festival would be better.
