Version: Free Clef 1.01
Pros: Free. Easy to use. More or less works. Can be used to write chords as well as single notes.
Cons: Stems on notes come and go unexpectedly, and can't be manually added. Barred (connected) eighth notes? Forget it. Does not allow enough space for accidentals (sharps and flats) sometimes, and can't be adjusted.

Version: Free Clef 1.01
"Easy music notation to use to write tab."
Pros: The great thing is that it's free the pros is there's no restriction on measuring settings it's OK for someone like a beginner who is beginning to write music notations or songs.
Cons: You are very very limited no sound, no chord symbols and It's hard to add notes above or below the staff lines it's good for a beginner.
Summary: It's a very simple program I need a software program that I can write sharps and flats go above the staff line and below the staff line. There needs to be a lot more added to this program and you need to have a very good working knowledge on writing... read more >>

Version: Free Clef 1.01
"SImple, cumbersome, and silent."
Pros: Being free is top. The software allow you to create sheet music with in different keys and has the basics covered. XML import/exporter. Open source which is good for programmers interested in contributing.
Cons: No sound for playback, No copy/paste, fixed measure width, unintelligent editing (you can put anything anywhere regardless), Adding new measures requires editing XML, Ugly print out.
Summary: The use of this program is severly limited by its shortcomings. Regardless, this can be useful if you are mindful and knowledgable about writing sheet music and do not need to hear what you are doing. This is the digital equivilent to writing sheet ... read more >>

Version: Free Clef 1.01
"Simple to use but very limited"
Pros: Simple to use
Cons: Very, very limited in what you can do. Musescore - http://musescore.org/ - is also free and MUCH better.

Version: Free Clef 1.01
"Cute little music notator (notes only) for free !"
Pros: Type any kind of bars you like. Not restricted to a specific measure setting. No pretensions, the features that are there work. Point and click to make your score.
Cons: No keyboard shortcuts makes for tedious note entry. Difficult to target notes above or below staff. No copy paste function. No text or chord symbols. Accidentals are semi smart: after a C# you can't put a natural in front of the C in the next bar.
Summary: If you come from Cubase or Logic, you won't like this. But if you simply need a quick and light program just for jotting some notes and make a print out, this is your program. It would stay on my PC if I could add text and/or chord symbols.
