What is the best music generating program?

Q. I'm making a movie, and I'd like a decent soundtrack. What is the best music-generating program for things like Guitar chords and piano excerpts, stuff like that?

A. http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-music-software.htm

I installed LMMS and Hydrogen on my Vista machine last weekend and have made a couple of little (and not so good yet) instrumentals. The LMMS Wiki is excellent and there are a number of tutorials on YouTube for both programs. The main problem was that I downloaded LMMS's newest release and some things shown in the tutorials are a little different in the new version but my old brain figured them out;-) LMMS can be used with a MIDI keyboard. I'm not sure about Hydrogen.

How do i write guitar notes onto sheet music but with the notes, not the chord boxes?
Q. How do i write guitar notes onto sheet music but with the notes, not the chord boxes?
like you would do on a piano but on guitar instead? I know all the notes on the frets eg C#, F but how do i write it onto sheet music cos i don't know whats middle C on guitar. Also can i convert it onto piano if i've written it on sheet music?

A. Machine Head's factual information is quite correct. The C on a guitar which is played on the 5th string at the 3rd fret is written as middle C, even though pitch-wise it is an octave below middle C.

However, his opinion on the utility of writing guitar music this way is way off. In fact, writing it this way serves to orient the guitar's range very nicely on the treble clef. In particular, classical or finger picking music works out nicely in that you've got the bass notes, normally plucked with the thumb, down at the bottom of the staff, and the melody, on the upper three strings, plucked with the first three fingers (non-thumbs), on the top of the staff, and the whole thing fits nicely on one staff. If you wrote it out in true pitch, you'd have to use two staffs, as with piano music, which would be vastly more cumbersome (on piano it at least makes sense to use two staves because you're using two hands to play two separate parts).

Yes, you have to use a lot of ledger lines if you move way up the neck and play the really high notes. But guess what, that's what you have to do on a violin, too. Big deal. Look at the violin part to the "Kreutzer" sonata, you've got ledger lines up to the stratosphere, but nobody complains that violin should be written differently.

What are the piano notes to Florence + The Machine's "What the Water Gave Me"?
Q. I'm truly in love with the song, and would like to know if anybody knows the notes to the song. I suck at reading music right now, but would like to try to play it.

A. Hi, sorry I don't know all the piano notes but the guitar tabs, basically piano chords should be almost right- just play the chords e.g. Em means e minor chord :)
