Hi!

Regarding the low prices for hardware and possible performance I'm
thinking about buying a Linux-system.

Very important for making my decision is the existance of a
(semi)professional MIDI-sequencer like Sibelius 7 (Acorn Archimedes),
Bars & Pipes (Commodore Amiga) or anything similar to these ones known
on Atari or Apple Macintosh.

Recommended:
- GUI
- good timing, even at high loads
- high comfort concerning manipulation of MIDI-events (note-data,
  velocity, aftertouch etc.)
- flexibility concerning the usable synthesizers (much interest in
  compatibility to Technics KN-800, Roland JV-30 and Kord 01/W)

Would be nice:
- more than 24 tracks
- Output of completely formatted note sheets (as a preview or even
  better as DTP, maybe an interface to MusicTeX)

Already existant? I'm sure, but how's the quality? I would be very
pleased if some like-minded people would reply for a small chat...

Oh yes, I'm likely to buy a Intel 486 DX-II/66 (maybe important for
						      performance :)

Interesting point.  Would anyone care to port ROSE to Linux?  It's an
SGI-based sequencer, available in source code from at 
ftp.maths.bath.ac.uk:/pub/dream/ROSE.ALPHA.tar.gz and ROSE.sources.tar.gz.

I've used it on my Indy, and it's quite a nice package... would be cool
to see this running on a Linux box...
