Before reading further... Are you looking for great Linux hosting from a company that cares about GNU/Linux? Pick Dreamhost hosting, get a 10% bonus to the disk space (and support Free Software Magazine in the meantime!)
Does anyone here actually use a free music notation program? I have tried using RoseGarden and NoteEdit, and neither one works for me. Finale is really the only reason I have to dual-boot. (And no, it doesn't work on wine) Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

Have you tried Denemo?
It's a GTK interface to Lilypond.
Denemo is actually available in the Ubuntu repositories. I have used it
briefly, and it seems to do the job!
Here's what I found after a bit of research:
LilyPond
- LilyPond is the music
typesetter for Linux, outputs TeX, PostScript, PDF, and MIDI files, with
an awesome features set and beautiful notation - Denemo GTK
front-end for Lilypond - Emacs MIDI
