Crescendo Music Notation
A simple and intuitive way to write musical notation or guitar tabs, Crescendo allows composers to write, save and print their music compositions on their computer. The wide array of sheet music symbols, time and key signatures, along with a free-form layout, gives a composer optimum control over creating sheet music for their arrangements. Add whole, half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth and thirty-second notes and rests (semibreve to demisemiquaver). Use drum kits and templates to write percussion notation. Create dotted notes, chords, add repeats, and more. Insert text to specify a title, tempo, dynamics or lyrics. Copy, cut and paste measures to easily insert themes. Brace staves together to compose scores for ensembles. Supports VSTi instruments, such as piano or violin, for quality MIDI playback.

Purple Planet
We like our music to have a natural feel so we use loads of real instruments such as guitars, basses and percussion instruments. In addition to these we use a wide range of software instruments and sample collections. We can pretty much create anything! Tracks with drums are mastered to -0.1db gain. Quieter tracks, generally without drums, are mastered to about -4db. We do not 'hot master'; unlike some genres of contemporary music, we do not apply excessive "brickwall" limiting to make a track sound louder. This reduces the dynamic range and is hard on the ears. We want our music to be a pleasure to listen to.

MuseScore
Step-time and real-time MIDI input, and a built-in virtual piano keyboard. Or type the notes in, or click with the mouse. Transpose a selected passage to any key, or by any interval—or even transpose diatonically within the same key. Multiple tab styles available—from note symbols outside the staff to upside-down strings—and linked standard/tab staff pairs. MuseScore can now open files from Guitar Pro, so you can easily migrate over. Import filters are improving with every release. Any change you make to the content of any part is immediately reflected in the full score—and vice versa. Instantly switch between transposed and concert pitch. Sounding pitches stay the same while the written notes change. Focus on the content, undistracted by line breaks or page breaks. Switch to Page View to polish up for printing.
