It's awesome that you replied to this thread, because I was thinking about writing a program like this, and I'm happy that it exists.

Does it work on the modern OSes?

It's linux only, and MIDI only, and it needs GTK2, but yeah, it should work on modern linux. You can use jack[1] to connect the midi output to a softsynth, or another drum software (e.g. Hydrogen[2]) or to actual MIDI hardware.

There's a video demo[3] of my program I made 3 years ago. The pasting of drum tab is demoed at 6:20 in the video.
