Music Score writer?
on: January 29, 2009, 02:52:58 PM
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 ;D

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?
