Try musescore. Pretty simple to run. But, doesn't have the midi edit function of rosegarden. But, IMHO, much better for score notation.

Friends
I would like to get started editing a simple score and producing some
sound from it.
I have tried rosegarden recently but I can get no sound out of it. It
is far more than I require, as my confidence increases perhaps it is
what I will need but I simply cannot tell at this point.
In the past I have used csound, it has a less useful interface (suits
me) and is the closest to what I want but I need to get a colleague
entering a score and a text editor will not do.
I am at my wits end, what I might need is a beginners guide for
rosegarden, or better still a simpler programme, or virtual keyboard
(best).
I am completely swamped by all the options that I have and hence am a
bit paralysed. I can tell that whatever I choose will require a big
investment in time to learn but I cannot be sure that it is worth the
investment. And being unable to get any sound at all is very demoralising.

PS I have been doing a lot of sound recording and editing with Linux and
a M-Audio interface (usually) and a PreSonus AudioBox 1818VSL when I
have to mostly into audacity. When I am absolutely forced to (when
using > 2 tracks where Audacity cannot cope yet) I use audacious. I
find audacious endlessly irritating for the same problems I outline
above, so many options, so many knobs, where do I start? But audacity
pretty much just worked.
