Hi!

My son took me to visit the "history of music expo" at a local museum for kids five times. He also loves playing the electronic drums there. He also loves his toy piano and ukulele. He also likes using my Ableton Push to play Peppa Pig.

Today at 7:30 AM he drew musical notes in my notebook and explained them to me. This is a black, this is a white...

I think he's trying to tell me something.

I only have Live. But I want to show him something with traditional music notation, so when he hits "record" (and he does hit "record" indeed), he sees it written on screen in those symbols he is already learning.

Nothing fancy. Something to show him how what he does translates to this notation.

Thanks.

Anything is better than Sibelius at least.

Agree totally. I bought Notion from PreSonus because I'm a Studio One user, but I end up using muse score a lot more. It's a great piece of software.

If you are into special features for contemporary music, you should consider Noteability Pro. It was formerly a paid product but is free now. (Mac only though)

Another + for Musescore

I have seen a lot of tutorials on YouTube and Udemy use Finale Notepad and MuseScore. Both of these will certainly provide the basic tools for putting scores together.

DAW DAW DAW (and MuseScore)

MuseScore 4 Beta (along with its Nightly Builds) is out and if it doesn't already have VST (CLAP too?) plugin capability, it is supposed to with the stable build:

https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/musescore-nightlies/

With VST(/CLAP?) plugin capability, it's getting closer to a DAW and as someone who might like to learn music notation while composing, recording, etc., this seems like my kind of 'DAW'.

I know that Steinberg has something like a DAW-with-notation called 'Doritos' or something like that, but given that MuseScore is open source and with a thriving, supportive community, and given my latest less-than-pleasant trans-multi-site registration, software-purchase hoop-jumping, and all-your-computer-are-belong-us sort of experience with iLOK (iLOL) (complete with a 'How are we doing?' email from Plugin Boutique), I'm leaning quite strongly toward MuseScore.

Steinberg (Yamaha actually) took over part of the sacked by Sibelius music notation team and created Dorico.
Just to have some cover in that realm for the Cubase\Nuendo folks, but can be used as a standalone music notation. Yes, it is expensive mainly because of the sound-library (orchestral samples).

I use Notion and Overture. Small and so expensive.

MuseScore is the way to go for free.

There's a free version of Dorico as well, but, I'm not sure how extensive it is.

Easy and free music notation editor (for learning)?
