Does anybody know a notation software that:
1) Is low-price/free
2) Handles polymetric notation
3) Can notate multiple tempi on parallel staves
4) Option to omit time signature and bar lines
5) Tuplets such as 4:3 and 8:6
6) Has MIDI output
?
So far I've found out these:
LilyPond - the closest notation output-wise, best engraving output, but is difficult to use:

LilyPondTool - can be of help to input LilyPond syntax:

Denemo - GUI for LilyPond, sort of:

Canorus - quite raw at this stage, but developing:

MuseScore - doesn't have the polymetric features that I'm after, but has the most mature interface:

MagicScore - about same description as the previous:

So, how do you this kind of notation, that can be consitered as "contemporary"?
Is the parchment the only way?
