Hello folks.
As part of my Uni courses I was comissioned to do a contemporary composition, and I decided to make it absolutely interpretative and abstarct (unnecessary to some, fun to me) and decided to go with using graphical scoring like the Threnody For The Victims of Hiroshima by the late Krzysztof Penderecki.
However before hand writing, Is there by any chance a way to apply these composition/writing techniques on Musescore, Sibelius, Dorico or any other software you know of that in some way or another can facilitate scoring it digitally or has tools that can make it happen even with some limitations?
My piece is heavily influenced by Romantic string writing

This is an extremely broad question I know but I know of no better way of asking. I’ve been interested in composing for a while (a few years at this point) but I’ve never really started until recently. So a few months ago I decided to start talking piano lessons, learned the basics of music theory I got a MIDI keyboard for Christmas and I was kinda fiddling around with stuff.
But shortly after I stopped taking piano lessons because I just didn’t practice. I tried playing around with my MIDI a bit more but it eventually started collecting dust on my shelf as I got busy with finishing up my senior year of high school… and I was okay with it for the most part. Because something was at the forefront of my mind every time I sat at my laptop: either “I have no idea what to start making” or “This idea that was cool in my head sucks and I hate listening to it.”
I really don’t know what to do. I come from a very musical family and I don’t want to be the one who doesn’t do something with music. I feel inspired to make something but whenever I sit down to actually try to write something I stop because something isn’t clicking. I’ll maybe get a little ways in and find a few notes I like, but very quickly things devolve and I get frustrated.
I’d like some possibly solutions. Do I have a bad ear? Is a DAW just not for me? Is making music just not for me? Something hasn’t clicked and I feel very discouraged
Hey yall ive become more interested in composing and arranging as I've begun my music college journey, but never done these things before. I want to arrange a horn quartet version of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Frankie Valli. I have never done an arrangement before, and I'm wondering if those with experience in that could give me advice and steps to follow on this??
