How Do I Share My Work ?

What notation software should I get ? What's reccomended ? Are there any free ones ? I feel like the only way to grow as a composer is to get constructive critism ..and I defiantly know my work is far from anything special. But yeah, I appreciate it.

I personally recommend Sibelius. It's not free though - there is a trial version on internet to download for a try-out. Otherwise it costs 300-500 euros, depending on the purpose. You can buy it cheaper if it is for educational reasons, for example.

I prefer Finale over Sibelius. But you can choose one (or both) to write your sheet - the pro copyists are experts in both. But if you don't have money for the license, you have 2 choices: download a Jack Sparrow's version (hahaha!) or find a free software.

In the last option, a free soft I like is MuseScore, it works overall well - except for large orchestra, where I found it hard to handle when compared to my Finale background. But it's free and has a good interface, you should try!

I really appreciate it. I'm going to check out musescore, since I only am writing for solo piano. But I really appreciate it again, and I'll be sure to message you when I think about upgrading.

Also check out lilypond, if you're not afraid of computers.

There are some 'cloud' services available as well, but I have not tried them.

Also finale notepad is free of cost, but hugely limited (you can't do basic things). Not really recommended, but useful for reading others' files.

Here is my first completed work.. ever. I broke my laptop so Noteflight is all I have at the moment.. http://www.noteflight.com/scores/view/3a9c8f1ec44296fb061bcdd5f80a12cbc16615e8              P.S. I'm not sure how to upload it to the "solo piano" part of the forum..
