Hello everyone, I am looking for software to write music sheets and tabs. A friend and music teacher uses Guitar Pro, but it’s a little pricey for my occasional use.
It doesn’t have to be an all-in-one solution. So for example, if you know a piece of software that does just cord visualization that’s also highly appreciated.
Musescore?
Wonder why no one has mentioned lilypond so far.
Frescobaldi as a front-end for Lilypond is quite nice as well
I adore lilypond and emacs
Tiny bit of context: LilyPond is basically LaTeX for sheet music.
Really good for transcribing and if you enjoy working with text.
But it does have somewhat of a learning curve, which might not be worth it for occasional use…
- lilypond
- denemo
- musescore (has chord symbols and playback)
- songwrite
- tuxguitar
- chordii
- nted
- sweep
- rosegarden
