I notate songs with Noteworthy.

Sorefingers is aggressively advocating a free program called QSP, but his very aggressiveness sounds alarm bells within me. It may be fine...


A word to the wise: I have found that programs that involve sound are very powerful, can do strange things to your computer, and are not well understood by computer professionals. If you have a lot of valuable stuff on your computer (and who doesn't?) then look into System Restore, etc before you install any music program.

If something goes wrong and you can't fix it, then you want to be able to return your computer to what it was before you tried the music program.

Also, if something new comes along down the line and bollixes your music program, you want to be able to restore your computer to the happy time when you were notating and playing music. This just happened to me. You can read about it in a thread I started April 30 called Tech: MIDI playback lost and restored.

Best of luck and happy singing.
