I've run Master Tracks Pro under Xsteem, the MIDI I/O was fine. Ditto for Sequencer Plus Gold under DOSemu. These programs are quite advanced as MIDI-only sequencers, and I agree that much could be learned from them. However, I get the impression that developers are responding to users' requests for more audio-oriented features, so the more interesting MIDI stuff is perhaps left for later addition. That's too bad, but until a native Linux sequencer appears that includes the MIDI features set of Sequencer Plus, I have no objection to using applications under emulation.
Btw, Xsteem now does full-screen, and if you're looking for more free (as in liquor, not libre) Atari MIDI apps be sure to check out Tim's Atari MIDI World :

Oh, and dosemu also does full-screen now too.

There has been some discussion lately about a "pure sequencer" for gtk2

STEEM (Atari STE EMulator) is on Daves update pages and appears to run
MIDI in/out.
Almost simultaniously I discovered that Hybrid Arts "EditTrack" is now a free download. I think it could very well be a starting point for some design decisions for a pure sequencer. (And yes, it runs inside steam and you can redirect midi both hither and dither.)
Running cost? About 200 Mhz on a PII/PIII with X set to 8 bit resolution.
I still have the original manuals :) but not updated to the current state :( So there are some new features for me to figure out before I can be totally helpful.
