Well, I've recently gotten a Keyboard and I've been playing some songs I've had from my band class and gotten some of my favorite VGM sheet music and played through it. I've had this song that I've always wanted to arrange and I've gotten a few of the notes.

Well my question is: is there any program (free please) that I can use to compose music?

All the sheet music I currently have are in PDF form, so I prefer it would be that kind of form.

Thank you.

Sorry for double post, but I didn't know if this is the right place to post this topic ><.

Guitar Pro is pretty useful, but I haven't used it in a while.

If you're looking for a free, (but still decent version) I recommend Power Tab.

Sorry, but I just skimmed through the power tab description on the site. Does the program use tabs as well as sheet music?

If your saying that you want to create PDF's then I believe you will need to get Adobe Acrobat,which you will have to purchase.I am not quite sure how much it would cost on its own,after that I can't really tell you too much except I looked at that site myself and it looked like it was made for making sheet music,which seems to be what your after.I'm not sure what this picture could be about otherwise...

Yup. The sheet music part is on top, and the guitar tab is displayed on bottom. I'm not sure if there's an option for the tab to be removed from the display or not; I haven't tinkered around with it enough yet.

Thank you both of you guys for helping me . I'll check on both of those programs tommarow, and if a mod wants to lock this thread go ahead since I got my answer.

P.S If you stumble across this thread and wanna help me please tell me in my profile.
