A question for the musically/technically inclined

I love music and, despite having only started four months ago, I am pretty good at Piano. I have always been interested in using computer composing software but everything I have tried is either NOT user-friendly or not free. I have no way to electronically purchase things so I need a free software, do any of you have suggestions?

I have been playing the Piano for well over five years, and I’d love a program like this too, but it’s not my area of expertise. I end up playing by ear. If it’s about starting to compose your own music, I’d go to Rao_Kurai or IllusDark8. They have some experience on that topic.

I’ll tell you if I find anything, I owe you for the art help…
