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.
