Not sure if I can put into words what I am seeking/ asking…
I am wondering if there is a type of editable PDF blank manuscript/ blank sheet music that I can “enter” tab (or notation) onto it.
I know that I could find a “blank” page in a PDF format, but I would need to “draw” the notes on to it… I think I am seeking a format where all I would need to to is “touch” the location where I want the note to be and it shows up. Is what I am describing making sense of what I am seeking?
The old days were pencil and paper but an trying to go more paperless any any endeavor.
I think I am putting into word the gist of what I am asking. I tried a search her but must not be using accurate keywords.
I’ve used MuseScore and he app itself was fine but the quality of the downloadable sheet music produced by users was not good - not terrible either, but about like a free tab site. Which I guess makes sense.
Another piece of software worth investigating is Avid’s Sibelius. You can download and use Sibelius First at no cost. I believe it’s what our Trusty Bass Teacher uses. I’ve had in on my desktop computer for around two years now, with no problems.
Be advised, though, that there is a learning curve:
It’s good software but, again, you won’t learn it in an afternoon. You can get a long way through just playing around with it, but to really unlock its potential you’ll be doing some reading in the user manual, which runs 810 pages. You don’t have to read the entire thing to get up and running, or even all that much of it. It’s there if you need it, and at some point you probably will.
