Notation software is a type of computer program designed to help users create, edit, and print musical scores. These applications allow musicians to notate music using standard symbols, making it easier to compose and share their work. Popular examples include Finale, Sibelius, and MuseScore. Many notation software programs offer features like playback, which lets users hear their compositions, and tools for arranging and orchestrating music. They often support various file formats, enabling collaboration with other musicians and integration with digital audio workstations (DAWs) for further production.
