That's what my friend does - makes his own material, his own beats,
accompaniment, using his Windows computer, ProTools, and a collection of
VST (virtual digital instruments). He's not using other peoples'
arrangements.
Happy creating!

Not a windows user either, which is why I expressed non-windows
solutions.
still, I quite like your idea of working with an instrumentalist.
Did an arrangement once by using other arrangements to create what I
needed.
these days I am writing more of my own material however.

I don't know what Windows offers. Maybe ProTools could do that? I
have a friend that writes songs using ProTools now - before that he
used FL Studio. He plays no instruments, so he sets up beats and
other such in ProTools, records his voice into it. He doesn't do
anything involving music scores.
I understand that Neil Diamond had some of his great initial song
successes well before he knew how to read or write music. He worked
with instrumentalists on albums by singing instrument parts as he
wanted them to be.

Hello Karen,
I mean, I think you should just go for it. You could totally record
your
melodies, and then fill them in with a DAW of your choice. Then,
take what
you've written to a notation software.
If you're on Linux, maybe Muse or Rosegarden would work for you, as
they
have notation built-in. If you don't care about notation built-in,
Ardour
is a great DAW for recording and processing.
If you're looking for software that will notate for you based on what
you've sang, I have to admit I don't know of a good one on Linux to do
that. Sonic-visualizer can track pitch of frequencies, so maybe that's
where I would start, but maybe someone else has a better solution. You
could always go the old-fashioned way and just dictate what you've
sang
later, after you've recorded yourself and fleshed out the
orchestration
around your recording. It's also good practice and can be fun and
give you
unsuspecting results, which can be nice. :)
Let me know if I've answered your question,
Brandon Hale
