Recommendation sought for free music notation software

[iumonito]

I love Audacity for recordings and I am wondering whether there is an equivalent for music notation, and I am unhappy with having to have multiple licenses to have my music notation software (a finale product whose name I can't remember) in multiple computers.

Thanks in advance.  This is for classical contemporary music, so some flexibility in the symbols and instructions would be nice.

I have both Finale Notepad and Noteworthy Composer.

I liked the Noteworthy Composer enough that I paid the small amount they charge for the full version.  It is not as good as a full Finale or Sibelius but perfectly adequate for my needs.

yes, finale notepad is ok.

There is much more free notation software for linux, though.

I don't really know them all, just some from years ago when i used linux more often.
One ...acceptable one even comes with the SuSE Linux Distribution, but there may be other distributions which provide one as well. Other than these, i guess with a little bit google you'll find more. Definately more than there are for windows.
