As of 1.8.0, nted is ready to play. One can without much trouble enter a score
start to finish. Only the old noteedit let me do that before. Mscore (is this
still being developed?) promised to be a linux sibelius, is a very snazzy
program indeed, but suffers from some instablitity and controversial UI
decisions (in my mind--I like this program a lot but have not succeded with
it). Denemo, once one learns how to use it, is an alternative, feeding
lilypond for output.
