Where can I get software for making my own music sheets? I would especially like to know if there are any freeware/ shareware ones available

If you can track down an older version of Finale Notepad, it does basic notation stuff (it was free). The new one is $20 or so.

Personally I use the full version of Finale, but then again I do a lot of engraving work.

Thanks so much for that quantum, I looked it up on Wikipedia, and that's how I found its article on score writers. One of them listed was MuseScore, It is free and I just installed it. It is awesome! Does anyone else have experience with it?
