[linux-audio-user] Searching for music composition tools

Hi all My question appears here most likely quite often, but I think I ask anyway since googling the Internet did not give any useful results. I'm searching for tools for serious music compositon. I don't want to generate some poor PC speaker noise, but something that sounds good. I don't care much whatever the method of generating the music is. Using a midi sequencer with soft synth or writing my compositions in a musical language are both OK, I can even use a tracker if the sound quality and ability to fine-tune everything are not compromised. Productivity is also an important factor since writing 1000 lines of code to get a single note out from soundcard is not worth the effort. The only (and probably the one which makes all this impossible) is that I'm blind and can only use text-based applications. So I'm interested about all possibilities available. Thanks a lot for all answers. -- Tapio
