Favorite notation website/software

[Byrdboi]

Hey there! As a fellow music composer, I feel obligated to ask for recommendations of music writing software/websites. I use noteflight, which limits what I can do since I can't afford a premium membership.

I use noteflight and it does everything that I need it to. One of my friends uses musescore, so maybe you could try that and see if that is better for you

Hey there. What kind of instruments are you interested in using to compose? If you can give me that info then I should be able to redirect you to some good apps (or not).

PS: This thread should be labeled as "discussion", since the 'Music' tag is used for sharing media.

At the moment, I write for trumpet, french horn, trombone/baritone, tuba, and piano, and am attempting at using woodwind instruments, but I'd like to be able to use varied pitched percussion instruments

i think this web https://www.noteflight.com/ can help you
if you want some software, it can be MuseScore

I also use Musescore but only for music notation purposes.

I don't use it as a main software for composing songs though.

Musescore is good if you know how to read sheet music. It's free and you can load different soundfonts to it. If you don't know how to read music, then I would suggest something like FL Studio.

I'm that guy who is mostly using trackers now, but for notation I use lilypond, it's nice once you get used to it.
