Although I am a Mac MIDI-user, I have seen a few packages in the IBM world.
My observations, and recommendations of folks I know, is that Jim Miller's
"Personal Composer" (NOT to be confused with Mark-of-the-Unicorn's "Professional
Composer" for the Mac) is the most comprehensive package around.  It combines
a sequencer with a notation program, and the printed output is actually useable,rather than the amateurish stuff I've seen from some others.  I've heard
rustlings that Passport has a new notation program, but I haven't seen it.
Check out KEYBOARD magazine, and Music Technology, for more insight on such
matters.
