Nor should it. IMHO the built-in notation capabilities in sequencing/DAW
programs suck. Let a DAW be a DAW, let a sequencer be a sequencer, and
let a notation program be a notation program. If ardour can run
concurrently in sync with Muse, that's all the midi track capability it
needs. If someone develops a decent notation app for Linux (which I sorely
hope someone does, so I can finally ditch that other OS from my system,
Sibelius being the one thing holding me back), it should support midi
playbac/recording. But really, do we need to bundle everything together
in one monster app?

Do you want to write them? There's not much point thinking about
