You can find various other virtual instruments at [FreePats](https://freepats.zenvoid.org/), [sfz instruments](https://sfzinstruments.github.io/) or in the list of [this article](https://hilbricht.net/foss-sampled-instruments.html) by Nils.
## Composing
Musical notation is done in a scorewriter[^19] application and for fretted string instruments, such as guitar, bass and mandolin, tablatures[^20] or tabs may be an efficient form of musical notation.
### Tablatures
[TuxGuitar](https://tuxguitar.org/) is an alternative to GuitarPro for creating and editing tabs and supports many formats. It is included in the unofficial [#Proaudio repository](#proaudio-repository) and can be installed using pacman:
```bash
sudo pacman -S tuxguitar
```
I saved many ideas as binary `.tg` files. For printing and exchange TuxGuitar can export compositions into [LilyPond](https://lilypond.org/) and MusicXML[^21] formats.
### Musical notation
In addition to a scorewriter that is dedicated to tabs or as an universal tool for any musical notation, [MuseScore](https://musescore.org/) has become one of the most popular solutions. It also provides working with tablatures and is available in the official repositories:
```bash
sudo pacman -S musescore
```
In my opinion it probably makes sense to start composing and arranging with MuseScore to get used to a comprehensive suite for musical notation.
However, you might want to start with a less complex application or a more basic [ABC notation](https://abcnotation.com/), for example, depending on your needs and genre. Have a look at the [list of applications](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications/Multimedia#Scorewriters) in the ArchWiki and you may try [Laborejo](https://www.laborejo.org/laborejo/) using the notes on [installation and starting](https://git.laborejo.org/lss/laborejo#installation-and-starting) in its code repository.
To conclude this guide, remember to keep evaluating and improving your setup. Building your personal pro audio environment is a process. You may proceed with setting up a [professional video](../pro-video) environment. Or, if this is not your use case, go back to the overview and select another guide.
