What I would love to do is make arrangements for this site, but I don't have experience with sheet music-making programs. If anyone knows of a good program and some sheet music writing tips, I would really appreciate that. Seriously, that'd be awesome.
Again, Finale Notepad or Musescore is a great writing program to do, Musescore has actually updated to 2.0 a month ago so it's much more reliable! You can also buy Finale Songwriter (I think that's the name) for $150, which I'm gonna be getting soon! :D I will also hopefully be posting an arranging tutorial in the coming months!
Thanks! ;D I'll start with MuseScore since money is not readily available for me to spend on music arranging.

You mean $50? (https://store.makemusic.com/Store/default.aspx?tab=notation&_ga=1.260187725.1543066664.1429574335) I'm considering it as well...
OH! Fifty dollars is much more reasonable. Musescore is pretty great, though. I like the 2.0. version a lot.
No, I mean the PrintMusic version, it's $150 AUD.

Ah. Right. Different kinds of dollars. XD
If you don't mind me asking, why did you choose PrintMusic over SongWriter?

Agreed!
Well, I got 2011 for $140.00, so it's not that bad.
PrintMusic has way more features than SongWriter, SW is useful if you're just writing solo instruments without the need of MIDI. I like arranging music with lots of instruments and I'm using the MIDI for an actual game :P Plus, I have the money to buy it!
The other good thing about PrintMusic is that it supports .musx files which makes it more future-proof than the cheaper options, assuming MakeMusic sticks to their plans for the future.
Hey people!
I'm currently holding a crowdfunding campaign for a songbook. What do you guys think?

Feel free to contact me in anyway ^^
That's pretty cool, but why this post? Why not on the Post the Thoughts of the Moment?
I don't know if it's technically legal tho
I think it is legal, I mean he is only giving the books to the backers, not putting it in a shop or anything.
But it's someone else's compositions without their consent, right?
