I've been having a lot of fun with Noteflight, but I'll try it.

No premium or anything for Musecore?

if you're gonna get into writing midis make sure you have a good sound scheme, everything sounds good with an SC-55/SC-88

This is what you're looking for. It's the best you're going to get for free.

If you're going to want professional level software, you're going to want Finale: http://www.finalemusic.com/ or Sibelius: http://www.sibelius.com/home/index_flash.html

You're going to have to pay Photoshop level prices for either, though. Or you could pirate them like the asshole you probably are.

Musecore should be just about everything you need if you're "just for fun", though.

Yes, I've been playing with Musecore since >>61754244 suggested it, and it's great. Maybe this weekend I'll actually put time into something, it'll be more productive than TF2.
