I usually am working with just a keyboard, bass and I handle the rythmn seperately.
To do my melody I find Muse Score to be way slower at producing MIDI. I actually use ABC Notation in VIM. I can do a whole song in under 5 minutes after using this for years. Its all texted based and as a old programmer I prefer the text to the GUI. I don't have an symphony and so that is why it is over kill for me.
ABCNotion is just a text based notation program. Once I have that I can just move it to whatever format I want.
