Music Composition Software


Question Posted Saturday December 23 2006, 10:52 pm

Other than Siberius, what music notation/composition software do you recommend? I'm in the market for something easy to use that works well. Links to free trials would be greatly appreciated!

Oh, and yes, I have googled. I'm asking for personal experience, not just a lundry list of names.

:)

I don't have a WHOLE lot of experience with Guitar Pro, but from what I have worked with, its pretty nice. The one downfall it has is that it is meant to be more oriented with the guitar so you can't get rid of the TAB lines below the music staff. However, its got lots of neat perks.

www.guitarpro.com should be the website, if you google Guitar Pro, it should come up with several things as well.

Hi there,

I would recommend Cakewalk, and their products.

www.cakewalk.com

... Having not used it in years, it was then, and is now the industry standard.

My first experience with it was in 1983 or 1984, and they are still at the top of the game today, so I suppose that should mean something.

You said no lists of program names, which is a shame, as I have a mighty list of free music notation and composition programs you might like to try.

You never know when the next up and comer will challenge cakewalk. :-)

If you change your mind, and would like me to supply them, mention it in your feedback and I will add them into my answer.

Have fun,

DN.
