You wouldn't like it John.  It doesn't have a command-line interface:-)

The problem would be that there's only some small bits of Quicktime on
Linux, and BarFly is quite dependent on Quicktime Music Architecture.

You can run the latest BarFly under Executor (Mac Emulator).  I've
only tried the Windows version of Executor, but I know that there is
also a Linux version of it.  Executor doesn't currently support QT, so
you can't play audio, or export QT movies, MIDI or audio files, and
pictures of the music can only be exported in PICT format.  Apart
from that, the editing, abc manipulation, analysis, display and
printing of music all work fine.

If you want to play with Executor, it's available as a one-month demo
from <http://www.ardi.com>.
