Denemo is a program for inputting music notation. http://www.denemo.org

can be typeset via GNU LilyPond and played via internal synthesizer.
Scheme scripting allows the user to generate music tests, music training
exercises and some educational games are included.

irritations in earlier versions and providing powerful features
