I have the same experience with seq24, well no, not stability issues,
but last time I fired it up I couldn't get it to work at all, but it
could have been just me ; still, no song that day :/ it's a shame
because I like mostly everything about seq24, starting with it's
interface and block workflow.

Have you tried harmonySeq <https://harmonyseq.wordpress.com/>? It's
quite wonderful, and really refreshing, I tried it out, and even made a
(french) tutorial for it
<http://linuxfr.org/users/philippemc/journaux/betatest-reveille-le-cyberponk>,
just after reading a very enthusiastic (borderline lyrical) article from
Louigi Verona
<http://www.louigiverona.com/?page=projects&s=writings&t=linux&a=linux_harmonyseq>
about it.

I made a quick song (well, no, just a short piece of music, but I'd like
to use it as a pure composition tool to make SONGS, like R&D verses,
hooks and bridge with its key changing functions) right away in it
(using only Qsynth with the Debian fluid-soundfont) and the sky was
really the limit, it responds quickly, is very light and
one-task-one-tool compliant, and did not crash on me once.
Definitely try it if you didn't.
