i don't know if you lose them; but i am pretty sure that you will lose 
some comfort using them.

have you found a way to set the channel of a track :)? i only know about 
left- and mid-click to set it (however, changing this is in progress...)

also, in my score editor, you have two ways for removing notes:
1. mid-click on it, or
2. select "erase notes", then left click
the first is more convenient, the second also works for you

however, i strongly advise to set up MMB emulation. if your left and 
right mouse buttons have no space in between (that is, you can press 
both with only one finger), this will be no problem to you at all (i 
also used that)

well, if you install this, you're on the safe side.
you also can tell synaptic somehow to "not install recommendations" or so.
then you have to install qt4-dev-tools and libqt4-dev (this is a 
recommendation, the only one you really need)

you also can deselect the large doc-package in the summary

however, i'm using aptitude and debian; synaptic is a GUI frontend for 
aptitude, and ubuntu, well, is actually a GUI-frontend for debian XD
the instructions should be the same, but i'm not sure
