[TriLUG] Musical composition software

[Roy Vestal]

As for Matt's original question: I'm looking into MUSE as a composition (I'm 
assuming you are looking for manuscript as well as a DAW). It is part of 
CCRMA. There is another distro that is debian based, but I don't have the 
name off hand. I'm going with Planet CCRMA (pronounced "Karma") and FC2 or 
WBEL.

Just my $0.02
