Music Score writer?

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. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Pencil and paper?
Instrumentalists are all wannabe singers. Discuss.

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?
