In other words, you do not need to embed this functionality into your editor, you simply need to have your editor communicate with this backend in order to have the basic MIDI input working! As I mentioned in my other post, the MIDI input functionality and features were heavily inspired by Frescobaldi and a bit by Denemo. Source: 5 months ago
Also, there's Frescobaldi, which is essentially an IDE for LilyPond: https://frescobaldi.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
Lilypond with the Frescobaldi front end is one open source solution. Source: over 1 year ago
I'd argue Lilypond has the best of both worlds since it's free and very powerful with minimal tweaking, but it uses text-based input that might not be for everyone. I recommend using Frescobaldi if you do want to give Lilypond a shot, but there's certainly a learning curve. Source: almost 2 years ago
If anyone wants to try to learn it in the future, I recommend checking out Frescobaldi, a text editor made specifically for Lilypond. It has a "score wizard" feature that will help you set up your score and instruments without having to enter everything manually, a live preview so you don't have to manually compile your score every time, and a lot of other nice features.

As far as the basics of notation and sequencing, there aren't many 'simple' ones left, but if your focus is notation then RoseGarden is a classic. The SQ-2 has a built-in sequencer that might be easier to use than software. Source: about 1 year ago
Rosegarden is free open source software and there is a Windows version. I can confirm that it records velocity and the information is preserved when exported to MIDI for import into Ableton Live. Source: about 2 years ago
It's probably overkill but I've used Rosegarden for this - open the SMF0 MIDI file in that, then export as MIDI and it'll be SMF1. Source: about 2 years ago
Rosegarden can export to LilyPond or PDF (converted from LilyPond export). It's also pretty good, but harder to learn than MuseScore. Source: almost 3 years ago
