I assume you've tried lilypond (http://www.lilypond.org) then, but on
the offchance you haven't - it's a music typesetting system rather than
a gui editor.

I tend to use rosegarden's (http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/) editor for
the initial entry, and then export to the lilypond format for tweaking
by hand.  Works quite well for the simple layouts I use it for.
