• Any free/mod software to help in writing songs?

  Lilypond with the Frescobaldi front end is one open source solution. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

• Engraving Program Blues

  I'd argue Lilypond has the best of both worlds since it's free and very powerful with minimal tweaking, but it uses text-based input that might not be for everyone. I recommend using Frescobaldi if you do want to give Lilypond a shot, but there's certainly a learning curve. - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago

  If anyone wants to try to learn it in the future, I recommend checking out Frescobaldi, a text editor made specifically for Lilypond. It has a "score wizard" feature that will help you set up your score and instruments without having to enter everything manually, a live preview so you don't have to manually compile your score every time, and a lot of other nice features. - Source: Reddit / 11 months ago

• “Compiling” Music

  Also, if creating your scores in vimacs and then typing "make" isn't your cup of tea, there's Frescobaldi, essentially an IDE for Lilypond. https://frescobaldi.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• is there a free software to make sheet music and then have the ability to hear what you are writing? and possibly even add some instruments?

  And you can pair it with Frescobaldi for easy playback and easier editing. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
