Hello list,
I am looking for MIDI software that supports note entry from a QWERTY
keyboard. There are many fine software packages out there, but all of
them require note entry from a MIDI keyboard or via a mouse. I *hate*
using the mouse when trying to make music. Hate it, hate it, hate it.
So is there anything that allows note entry with a QWERTY keyboard?
A real-time "vim for MIDI?"

I would check out Denemo.
http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=denemo
The current cvs has this exciting entry mode based off of predefined
rhythms to aid in the rapid note entry. Its got alot of bugs still but I
think its a great helper for lilypond or even midi creation. Its
written in c/gtk so its also enhance.

What about using vkeybd (which accepts QWERTY input)? If you're
talking about entering notes into a sequencer, it might mean
constantly alt-tabbing back and forth...

Unless I've misinterpreted your question, I think either :
1. Mondrian - http://www.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/~brinkman/software/mondrian/
OR
2. Midge - http://www.undef.org.uk/code/midge/
will at least partially fill your needs.
This quote from the Mondrian homepage seems to suggest that it can be used for
"real-time" use :
"Both MondrianLive and MondrianPM can be used as a vim plugin, effectively turning
vim into a musical instrument."

This quote from the Midge homepage also seems relevant (although I'm not sure it can
be used for "real-time" use):
"[ Features include : ] An emacs mode with syntax highlighting for editing and
compiling midge files and playing the resulting midi files (if you have a command line
midi player). See README.elisp"
