Hi Moshe.

Given that I'm involved in the team, I would say give a try to Musix [1].
We're now working on version 3 beta, so you may want to try Musix 2
downloading the live CD or the USB version (this way you can have a look
without installing anything on your computer) until v3 is published.
I have to tell you that Musix v3 it's going to be a great jump forward
compared to v2.

Musix always put an eye on non experienced users, and it's of course RT an
all those great things that linux distros have (actually Musix is based on
Debian)

To add some more choice to those great responses here in this thread, a
would mention KXstudio[2]. I liked it when I tested some time ago, nice and
well finished.
