Ardour2 is for audio only and Ardour 3 for audio and MIDI. While Ardour2
is the best software for audio, Ardour3 for MIDI still has got serious
lacks. I'm an old school MIDI user from the 80's, for MIDI (with less
audio) I recommend to use Qtractor.

Dunno which Linux app is the best to print scores, but Rosegarden is for
audio, MIDI and MIDI score and perhaps one of the most used
"sequencers".
