- For writing, I use musescore. It's a scoring program that lets you write sheet music.
- I get scores from Musescore. You can get PDF + MIDI for free using Tampermonkey (browser addon) and a github userscript (search on Google) https://github.com/LibreScore/dl-librescore

Cons
- Reminds me of what musescore did a few years ago. Real shitty behavior.
- MuseScore is 99% hot garbage.
- As others have pointed out, Musescore is free (but not licensed);
- Afaik Musescore is a scam.
- I've dabbled a little on muse score but it's basically useless for me.
