Hello.
I have a problem about composing a song. I wrote a song but I donīt know how to write it down on the computer. Can anyone recommend me a program which helps to write sheet music! And I like to know, is there a program which plays the music I written down ( like I write some notes down and it will do the playback) ?
I would be grateful for any help ! :)

Hi, Alyzzh!

Yes, there are programs that allow a person to write music via using only the computer and then hear it. I'm assuming that you're describing a song with words with some sort of instrumental accompaniment. Would that be correct?

Thanks!

Yes, that would be very correct :)
