While I haven't used it directly for anything serious, there's Ardour.
I'd recommend loading up a machine with Ubuntu Studio or similar (AVLinux, KX Studio, etc) and see what you can do. It'll cost you nothing. Ubuntu Studio comes with Ardour and quite a few plugins.

Musescore is my favorite.

This is slightly OT as Free Software on Windows will do just as well....
My colleague with whom I make a lot of music has been squeezing her
creativity through a "free" version of Garage Band on a iPad. She has
had a great time with the UI but is beset by all the problems we all
know of with such products. She does not own, and cannot afford, a
Apple computer so cannot really get the benefits of Garage Band.
In the Free Software world what would be the best next step? Is there one?
I am flumoxed because I have a different approach (I prefers issuing
instructions to moving icons) and Garage Band is a complete mystery to me.
cheers
