I am preparing  to outfit a computer  for songwriting in Linux.
I will be using the command line  notation  options, of which there are rather a few from Lillypond to muscript.

​You might want to look at MUP for notation

I find it much easier than lilypond, but others disagree :) I also find it has been output.

As part of the writing process (as well as performance, but that isn't your question) I also use my MMA software to generate MIDI:

Quite often I will generate MIDI from MUP and import that into MMA to check note conflicts and just to make sure things "sound" like I think they should.

Hope this helps,
