Depends. Are you a musician and if yes, what instrument / are you a composer etc, which OS do you use?

I know allot about music, yet not a musician or composer, more like an amateur. As for instruments, at-least 5 different instruments. I am using Windows 7.

Theoretical musical knowledge? Can you read sheet notation / guitar tabs?

Maybe you should try a notation software instead then, as in Guitar Pro 6 (I am by contract required to tell you it's amazing :V Seriously, it really is though.) Or Sibelius. Guitar Pro has both tabs and sheet notation, while Sibelius only has the latter, and for people who are used to that they are way more intuitive.

Thanks, Ill give Guitar Pro a try. I tried Anvil Studio and I found it a bit hard since I haven't practiced with sheet notations for a while.

Guitar Pro is the most common, wide-spread and refined Guitar Tab editor there is, plus it's the one with the best user interface.

I use Guitar Pro 5 to write most of my songs (I like the layout better than Guitar Pro 6). Works really good! You can even use scale guides if you are a beginner
