I am also a newbie. I wanted to know, what composing program do you guys like to use?

Finale Notepad: some arrangers use more advanced versions of Finale, but you can always ask them for formatting help if you don't want to buy those versions. There's a link to download it here.

Yeah, that would be good to use.
Are  you planning to arrange or compose?

Thank you! Also, if anyone has any experience with MuseScore, how did "you" like it?

I'm not sure how it compared to the full version of Finale, but it definitely has more features than Finale Notepad. Overall, it's good to use if you just want to arrange/compose something for yourself, but in my opinion, it's a little bit difficult to use (especially with note placement).

I've actually experimented with MuseScore a bit before, but I didn't really like it too much(I found it a little hard to use).

I'm planning on arranging for piano and orchestra.
