An excellent piece of software with no MIDI capabilities is Dr. T's
Copyist for the PC.  It lets you define your own symbols, and it is
basically exactly what was described -- a word processor for music.
It also has the added benefit of being able to read MIDI files from
sequencers and other such products.  It can output to dot matrix
printers in various resolutions (IBM Proprinter/Epson FX-xx are all it
supports, I thing), HP LaserJetII (not the plus, the fonts are too
complicated I think) or Postscript, Encapsulated posctscript, and that
about does it.   I've seen the postscript output and it's gorgeous. 

The product is pretty flexible -- my standard method of printing
scores is to write the music in my sequencer (Sequencer Plus MKII from
Voyetra) and export a file into Copyist-- then I tweak it up, etc.

Hope that's helpful to you.

~~~Steve
