lillypond is really good.

But the guy is right imho. If you are serious about music, or aren't 
very good at it, then there isn't the Free Software which can do music 
properly at the moment.

However there are lots of very promising projects which are only going 
to get better.

dyne:bolic (dynebolic.org), which happens to be an *entirely* free 
software live cd, is a rather bizarre (ever seen a rastafarian live 
cd?!) collection of audio and video editing software.

I have found the drum sequencer hydrogen really cool and the real time 
effects guitar processor creoX or soemthing looks neat.

Audacity is of course,  the biggest success story, basically outdoing 
all the really basic editing software like cool edit pro etc.

Howver when it comes to the likes of Pro-tools, Reason, Cubase and FL 
Studio etc. it's extremly unfortunate that there is nothing like them. I 
would be really interested in a project that attempted to replace one of 
these pieces of software.

I don't think any projects do exist really.

Prove me wrong.
