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.

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.

That's pretty cool, but why this post? Why not on the Post the Thoughts of the Moment?

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?
