Haven't used any of the following, but they might suit you. Top 3 in the
list are the best, look at the others as a last resort.

Audacity

Sweep

GLAME

Ecawave (with ecasound)

I use Lilypond for arrangements, transcriptions and lead sheets for a
quartet. It uses a text editor for note entry (emacs has a mode),
Noteedit will interface with it. It produces beautiful output (.ps or
.pdf) and prints standard american chord symbols that can be transposed.
It has a steep learning curve but excellent documentation and is fast
once you know how.

Sorry, I should have included this link

http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/planetccrma.html

Their abstract states:

Planet CCRMA (CCRMA is pronounced ``karma'') at Home is a collection of
rpms (RPM stands for RedHat Package Manager) that you can add to a
computer running RedHat 7.3, 8.0 or 9 to transform it into an audio
workstation with a low-latency kernel, current ALSA audio drivers and a
nice set of music, midi, audio and video applications. It replicates
most of the Linux environment we have been using for years here at CCRMA
for our daily work in audio and computer music production and research.
Planet CCRMA is easy to install and maintain, it can be installed and
upgraded over the network from the Planet CCRMA apt repository or its
mirrors, or from cdroms you can download from this site.
