Both Quest I: Texture and Dr. T KCS are good MIDI sequencers (much better than 
SONIX and DMCS), but offer NO standard Music Notation.  Also Dr. T and
SoundQuest offer a large number of MIDI editor/librarians for all major
synthesizers / FM generators.  Dr. T are stronger editors, SoundQuest's
are stronger librarians (but that is a personal opinion).  Both are very good
products.

No, Music-X is still "vaporware". At AmiEXPO a MicroIllusions spokeperson
announced that the program features have been finalized, beta testing
is still going on, and the manual is being "written" (not printed).
Make your own conclusions.
