Denemo is a free music notation program GUI for GNU/Linux, macOS and Windows that lets you rapidly enter notation which it typesets using the LilyPond music engraver. Music can be typed in at the PC keyboard, or played in via MIDI controller, or input acoustically into a microphone plugged into your computer’s soundcard.

Denemo uses LilyPond which generates beautiful sheet music to the highest publishing standards. During input Denemo displays the staffs in a simple fashion, so you can enter and edit the music efficiently. The typesetting is done in the background while you work, and is generally flawless publication quality. Some final tweaks can be done on the typeset score with the mouse if needed. This represents an enormous practical improvement over the popular programs which require you to re-position colliding notation constantly as you enter the music.

Beginner to Professional: Denemo can be used for a brief student homework all the way to a full-scale opera. Support is there for creating the widest range of notation – Tablature, Chord Charts, Fret Diagrams, Drums, transposing instruments, ossia, ottava, cue, title pages, table-of-contents, critical commentaries, footnotes quoting music, and more with LilyPond’s extensive syntax available for even more demanding uses.

A package to reorganize menu branches in order to get a structure easy to use for teachers and students.

Fluidsynth is a real-time midi synthesizer based on the soundfont (sf2 and sf3) specifications. It can be used to render MIDI input or MIDI files to audio. The MIDI events are read from a MIDI device. The sound is rendered in real-time to the sound output device.

Lingot is a musical instrument tuner. It's accurate, easy to use, and highly configurable. Originally conceived to tune electric guitars, it can now be used to tune any instrument.

It looks like an analogic tuner, with a gauge indicating the relative shift to a certain note indicating that note and its frequency.

LMMS aims to be a free alternative to popular (but commercial and closed- source) programs like FruityLoops, Cubase and Logic giving you the ability of producing music with your computer by creating cool loops, synthesizing and mixing sounds, arranging samples, having more fun with your MIDI-keyboard and much more...

LMMS combines the features of a tracker-/sequencer-program (pattern-/channel-/ sample-/song-/effect-management) and those of powerful synthesizers and samplers in a modern, user-friendly and easy to use graphical user-interface.

MCP plugins implement a set of LADSPA plugins that vastly improve the sound of AlsaModularSynth.

Currently they consist of these plugins:

• Moog VCF (1-3): Moog lowpass filters that quite successfully emulate the properties of the analogue circuit. Version 3 of these filters is recommended.
• Phaser1: A phaser with up to 30 all-pass filters in series.
• Phaser1+LFO: The same as above, but with built-in LFO. LFO waveform can be continuosly changed from saw down to triangle and saw up.
• Chorus (1,2): Two chorus plugins.

Mu͒seScore Studio is an Open Source (GNU GPL) music notation software that runs on all platforms supported by Qt5 (GNU/Linux, MacOS X, Windows) and is available in over forty different languages. It features an easy to use WYSIWYG editor with audio score playback for results that look and sound beautiful, rivaling commercial offerings.

This package provides a (tastefully cherry-picked) Mu͒seScore Studio 3. It is possible, even recommended, to install multiple versions of Mu͒seScore Studio in parallel because each major version has a new, incompatible, layout engine; the old version is needed to change scores made with the old version if not investing several hours of effort to relayout under the new version. Install the musescore Debian package for Mu͒seScore Studio 2, musescore-snapshot for “Mu͒seScore 3 Evolution” which is maintained by a community team. Mu͒seScore Studio 4 relies on proprietary, binary-only downloadable content for most functionality, so no Debian package is currently planned for the releases by the new (Muse Group) owners.

Most elements in MuseScore are laid out automatically on a “virtual note sheet”, with a near professional-quality layout engine, but can also be positioned manually, giving you total control of every score element’s position. The capabilities of MuseScore can be extended via plugins and extensions, and the growing repository on musescore.org contains many plugins submitted by users and an active development team.

MuseScore includes a set of sounds that reproduce common instruments (as defined by General MIDI) without taking up a lot of disk space or memory providing full orchestral and band sounds (with the Drumline extension installed this includes marching percussion). The general (non-Drumline) sound font is available as musescore-general-soundfont Debian package, if you wish to reuse it with other synthesisers.) You can also load any sound font you prefer for a wider variety of sounds or for more realism.

MuseScore can import and export MIDI and MusicXML files, and it can also import from Capella and several other programs. MuseScore can export to PDF, PNG, and other graphic formats, to WAV and other audio formats such as OGG Vorbis and MP3, or to GNU Lilypond for an alternative layout and print option.

Mu͒seScore Studio scores can be uploaded to Scusemore Catalogue and used with the Mu͒seScore Sheet Music for Android and iOS äpps to rehearse “on the go” (they do not support note entry but advanced playback functions). Note that these are commercial and proprietary offers, not part of the notation program (which is FOSS). Scusemore Catalogue can send scrolling videos to YouTube, which highlight the notes as they sound in the score and on a virtual piano keyboard.

NtEd is a GTK+ score editor. It intends to be really WYSIWYG: what you see on the screen is exactly what you get on printer output. It supports up to 4 voices per staff, drum notes, 5 lyrics lines, N-Tuplets, context changes, repeats with alternatives, configurable music instruments per staff, MIDI / MusicXML import, PS / PDF / SVG / PNG / Lilypond / MIDI export. Scores can be played through the ALSA sequencer.

A MIDI file player/game that displays the musical notes AND teaches you how to play the piano.

PianoBooster is a fun way of playing along with a musical accompaniment and at the same time learning the basics of reading musical notation. The difference between playing along to a CD or a standard MIDI file is that PianoBooster listens and reacts to what you are playing on a MIDI keyboard.

To run Piano Booster you need a MIDI Piano Keyboard and a MIDI interface for the PC. If you don't have a MIDI keyboard you can still try out PianoBooster, using the PC keyboard ('x' is middle C), but a MIDI piano is really recommended.

QSynth is a fluidsynth GUI front-end application written in C++ around the Qt toolkit. Eventually it may evolve into a softsynth management application allowing the user to control and manage a variety of command line softsynths but for the moment it wraps FluidSynth (http://www.fluidsynth.org).

FluidSynth is a command line software synthesiser based on the Soundfont specification.

Rosegarden is a Qt application which provides a mixed Audio/MIDI sequencer (for playback and recording), a multi-track editor, music editing using both piano-roll and score notation, MIDI file IO, lilypond and Csound files export, etc.

GNU Solfege is an ear training program for X Windows written in Python, using the GTK+ 3.0 libraries. You can practice harmonic and melodic intervals, chords, scales and rhythms, and you can add new exercises using a simple plain text file format.

Ear training is a big subject with many connections to music theory and performance of music.

To use this software, you need some basic knowledge about music theory.

Steve Harris has written a large number of plugins for LADSPA compatible hosts (e.g. GLAME, Sweep and ecasound). The plugins available are:

amp, fast overdrive, overdrive (with colourisation), comb filter, waveshaper, ringmod, divider, diode, decliper, pitch scaler, 16 band equaliser, sinus wavewrapper, hermes filter, chorus, flanger, decimater, oscillator, gverb, phasers, harmonic generators, surround encoders and more.

TerminatorX on reaaliaikainen äänisyntetisaattori, jolla voit "raaputtaa" digitaalisesti mallinnettua audiodataa (.wav, .au, *.mp3, jne.) samalla tavalla kuin hiphop-DJ:t "raaputtavat" vinyylilevyjä. Se sisältää useita levylautasia, reaaliaikaisia tehosteita (sisäänrakennettuja sekä LADSPA-liitännäisillä toteutettuja), sekvensserin ja helppokäyttöisen GTK+-käyttöliittymän.

This is a small but complete GM SoundFont, originally packaged with MuseScore 1.3, but dropped from MuseScore 2.0.

This package will be installed into /usr/share/sounds/sf2/.

TuxGuitar is a multitrack guitar tablature editor and player written in Java-SWT. It can open GuitarPro, PowerTab and TablEdit files.

Festival offers a full text to speech system with various APIs, as well an environment for development and research of speech synthesis techniques. It includes a Scheme-based command interpreter.

Besides research into speech synthesis, festival is useful as a stand-alone speech synthesis program. It is capable of producing clearly understandable speech from text.

LilyPond is a music typesetter, an automated engraving system. It produces beautiful sheet music using a high level description file as input.

LilyPond supports many forms of music notation constructs, including chord names, drum notation, figured bass, grace notes, guitar tablature, modern notation (cluster notation and rhythmic grouping), tremolos, (nested) tuplets in arbitrary ratios, and more.

LilyPond's text-based music input language support can integrate into LaTeX, HTML and Texinfo seamlessly, allowing single sheet music or musicological treatises to be written from a single source. Form and content are separate, and with LilyPond's expert automated formatting, users don't need typographical expertise to produce good notation.

LilyPond produces PDF, PostScript, SVG, or TeX printed output, as well as MIDI for listening pleasures. LilyPond is exported from the RoseGarden and NoteEdit GUIs, and can import ABC, ETF and MIDI.

LilyPond is part of the GNU Project.

MuseScore is an Open Source (GNU GPL) music notation software that runs on all platforms supported by Qt5 (GNU/Linux, MacOS X, Windows), and is available in over forty different languages. It features an easy to use WYSIWYG editor with audio score playback for results that look and sound beautiful, rivaling commercial offerings like Finale and Sibelius.

This package provides MuseScore 2. You can install multiple versions of MuseScore in parallel, and upstream recommends doing so, because each major version has a new, incompatible, layout engine, and changing old scores without relayouting them fully with the new version can only be done by the old version. Install the musescore3 package for MuseScore 3 and expect a musescore4 package to show up in Debian bookworm.

In addition to the desktop software, you can rehearse “on the go” with MuseScore mobile apps (which do not support note entry, but many advanced playback functions). Note that all of these are commercial or otherwise non-free offers optionally integrated with, but not part of, the Free notation program. Scrolling video scores feature the notes highlighted in the score as they sound — and highlighted on a virtual piano keyboard below.
