    I like to use LilyPond for transcription. It’s basically LaTeX for sheet music.

    For 8-bit music, I like to dick around with MilkyTracker. It’s a tracker-style composition tool, which basically came to be in early computing days. It takes a bit to get used to, but then it’s super simple for writing a quick chiptune.

    And I guess, I’ll also throw in VMPK. It allows you to play piano on your computer keyboard, similar to how lots of DAWs do.
    As with any such implementation, it’s unfortunately limited by keyboard rollover, but still useful for dicking around with intervals and a jamming a bit. It can also be used as MIDI input for audio software, which doesn’t have this feature built-in.
