Not a WINE answer but if you want a really good ASCII music notation writer 
that runs natively you could cut to the chase and using PMW
http://www.quercite.com/pmw.html

>From the home page

"PMW operates by reading an input file containing an encoded description of 
the music; such a file can be constructed using any text editor or word 
processor. The music encoding is very straightforward and compact, and quick 
to enter."
