Quoting: scaine... so I had no idea how closely its music chip resembled the classic C64 SID chip.
NES/Famicom has completely different chip than SID while SNES is close to Amiga in terms of sound.

My suggestions:
Do you use Wine for gaming? (Yes/No)
Do you use Proton for gaming? (Yes/No)
Do you use VM for gaming (DOSBox and other emulators don't count)? (Windows/Other/No)

I still don't get it 100%, seems like an XY problem.
Do you need the file format to be compatible with common tracker formats or do you want an efficient format? Or something else?
I dont know about Musescore, but it seems to be bound to midi instruments (it is not a daw, but just a notation software).
But afromentioned lmms does indeed produce small files and has a pianoroll, and i bet there are a lot of sequencers that uses efficient file formats.

Do they miss something you need?
Yes, i need creating small files, not necessary "tracker" ones but ones playable with commonly used players.
Musescore and Muse are two different softwares.
