Are there any music composition programs for Linux beginners?
I'd like to enter short melodies and see what a computer could elaborate on. Kind of like computer jazz or something. I'd like to compose songs that are only about a minute and 20 seconds long that I can string together to make a video presentation. Is there anything like that in the world of linux? I don't mind cracking open python code to make it work but I'd like to see what is already off the shelf. Thanks in advance.

Closest to what you described is http://aiva.ai (commercial product).
You could experiment with OpenAI Jukebox but there’s a steep learning curve and you would need a decent GPU.
Other than that I don’t think there are good open source models to do conditional music generation. I might be wrong though.

https://sonic-pi.net/ might be of interest, cross platform, won't do what you want out of the box, but could be a building block

I've always loved Milkytracker. It might not be exactly what you want but it's pretty popular and a lot of fun.
