If you mean "notation in which to print out my own music".... I

don't need to.  I can burn a CD.
If you mean "notation in which to manipulate notes within the

app".... as I said in another post, I think I'd like a

high-level, non-LISP-like programming language I could use to

code my songs. Lacking that, the commonly used piano roll

notation is certainly the most intuitive.  (Yes, I did have

piano lessons as a kid and yes, I did learn how to read music.

Piano roll notation still makes more sense to me, especially

when I start transposing.)
If I were a band or orchestra leader, it'd be different... but

I'm not.  I'm one guy with a bunch of instruments and a computer

that will record me playing all of them by ear.
