Sorry for being about 3 years late. But see Capriccio for a new great score editor. Its free, very functional.

Thanks everyone for the continued interest!

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if any of you know of a free program that allows you to write down your own music? I have a few songs that I have come up with and I would like to be able to write them down and print them out.

Thanks!
