Free and easy to use programs for creating sheets?

[Baka94]

Does anyone know any free and easy to use programs for creating sheet music? I have been looking for a while now and I just can't find one...

Finale 2012 if you want to submit anything here. Musescore is decent, but will not produce nice finale sheets. If you want to eventually get stuff on the site, start with notepad and by finale when you get the money. That's what I did.

btw, this should be on the help subforum

Just FYI Finale Notepad is free and relatively easy to use, and MUS file also the standard around here.

If you plan on doing anything with NSM in the future, stick with Finale right from the get-go.
The reason I say this is because if you're just going recreationally for your own purposes, I've heard MuseScore is by far the best.
