Band Music
What is the best music writing software for marching band and orchestra music?
I just graduated from High School, when I was in the band I would make stuff up on the marimba all the time. My band director told me I would be a very good composer. I just need to know what the best tools are to compose marching band music and orchestra music.
Most likely Sibelius; it's pretty much the premier sheet music software on the market. If you want something cheaper, perhaps check out Finale products.
