If you mean "notation in which to print out my own music".... I 
don't need to.  I can burn a CD.

If you mean "notation in which to manipulate notes within the 
app".... as I said in another post, I think I'd like a 
high-level, non-LISP-like programming language I could use to 
code my songs. Lacking that, the commonly used piano roll 
notation is certainly the most intuitive.  (Yes, I did have 
piano lessons as a kid and yes, I did learn how to read music.  
Piano roll notation still makes more sense to me, especially 
when I start transposing.)

If I were a band or orchestra leader, it'd be different... but 
I'm not.  I'm one guy with a bunch of instruments and a computer 
that will record me playing all of them by ear.
