“Musical inspiration may come from heaven, but once it arrives,
you’d better record it or it’ll fly back to where it came from.
MuseScore software lets you set down your music notation and
compose (or at least create sheet music) on your computer.

“Unlike some similar applications, MuseScore is true WYSIWYG
software, which makes it easy to use. It’s widely available and
accessible, running on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, and supports
more than 20 languages in its software, documentation (including
video tutorials and a Handbook), website, and forum. A growing
community of users and contributors on musescore.org helps enhance
all those elements and provides support. Those factors, and the
fact that it’s free, have led people to download MuseScore more
than half a million times to date, according to project
leaders.”
