BTW, the author of noteedit started a new project now, the old noteedit url
redirects to this page:
http://vsr.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/staff/jan/nted/nted.xhtml
He's progressing quickly during the last few weeks, and it's capable of playing
back via MIDI since several versions. There's even a .deb package available...
I found the abc programs I was thinking of:
Runabc.tcl
http://ifdo.pugmarks.com/~seymour/runabc/top.html
and:
tkabc
http://moinejf.free.fr/
A whole bunch of ABC stuff:

I also like those programs a lot, especially runabc has a bunch of clever analysis
tools for MIDI files.
all teh best,
