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: over 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
You might be interested in the DAW(lite) from Serato. It has a free version so it's worth checking it out to see if it fits your desired workflow: https://serato.com/studio. Source: over 1 year ago
Serrato Studio looks fairly simple and promising too, but I haven't tried it myself yet. Source: about 3 years ago
