Free Online Music Composition Software
www.noteflight.com This is a useful tool for music composition for songs to be notated for music therapy or just out of personal enjoyment. It is free to register and free to use. Compositions can be printed individually in their entirety or by score. The music is kept online, so there is no need to save to a disk/flash drive and you can choose whether or not to make your compositions public. This also allows for the composition to be accessed at any computer (library, personal, etc.) I (Mike Witter) have used this website for a long time and have found it easy to use, well-constructed, and aside from minor technical issues, a great site to use for original compositions and arrangement. |
