Hi,

Not sure where i should be posting the question.

I am trying to write some music with orchestral backing, however as an orchestra isnt handy i was thinking maybe a sofware with the sounds in? even midi? that i can enter the notes or play the notes. Preferably free software.

Many thanks, and apologies for posting in this room

You mean something like obtaining orchestral instrument sounds by playing a MIDI keyboard?

There is this, but it is commercial.  It also does come with certain versions of Finale.
