Version 1.6.4 of the Qt-based note editor "noteedit" can bow deal with lyrics. 
This feature is still experimental and only one lyrics line per staff is 
supported (more are expected). The lyrics are exported into MusiXTeX and MIDI
(and implicitely into MUP). Unfortunately not PMX.

See: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~ja/noteedit/noteedit.html

New is also: 
	- setting the staff geometry

Other properties:

   * insertion/deletion/modification of notes, rests, dotted notes/rests, slured notes, clefs with/without shift,
     time signatures, key signatures, volume signatures, tempo signatures, triplets,
     repeat groups with/without special ending and instrument changes on different staffs; 
   * building chords;
   * building groups of beamed notes;
   * determine pitch by means of a MIDI keyboard;
   * record from MIDI keyboard;
   * playing on /dev/sequencer (if correctly configured) whereby:
        o giving each staff a different voice;
        o giving each staff a different channel;
        o highlighting the played notes;
        o muting staffs
        o setting MIDI tempo;
   * export MusiXTeX;
   * export MIDI;
   * export PMX;
   * import MIDI;
   * read from MIDI keyboard

Planned

If there is enougth interest I plan to transform the program into a KDE
application.

Furthermore:

   * More edit features: transpose 
   * More music elements: crescendo, ...
