Music Notation Software

[SanctifiedGuitar]

Do you know of any good music notation software, especially for guitar (like tabs, chords, etc.)

I am currently searching the internet, but I would like to know your trusted recommendations

I am willing to spend up to $20, but I would like to find something free ($0)

Thanks

I think Noteworthy Composer is free, or nearly free. But it's just for PC's, AFAIK...

You can get a pretty good version of Finale (PrintMusic) for around $100. It does TABs and guitar chords.
Check online at http://www.finalemusic.com/PrintMusic/ for features, then GuitarCenter and other online music stores for deals on the price.

$100     Once again, you get what you pay for!  Thanks, I'm in the process of asking the Holy Spirit to guide me

We use Print Music here at home and have for years.
It used to be $75, but they've upped the price in recent years and I had to pay a $25 upgrade fee.
IMHO, it's totally worth it.
fyi: I've used NotePad before and it's ok, but being that it's free or cheap, it's very limited in its capabilities.
