Nor should it.  IMHO the built-in notation capabilities in sequencing/DAW
programs suck.  Let a DAW be a DAW, let a sequencer be a sequencer, and
let a notation program be a notation program.  If ardour can run
concurrently in sync with Muse, that's all the midi track capability it
needs. If someone develops a decent notation app for Linux (which I sorely
hope someone does, so I can finally ditch that other OS from my system,
Sibelius being the one thing holding me back), it should support midi
playbac/recording.  But really, do we need to bundle everything together
in one monster app?
