Default Best way for Score Editing ?

Hi all!

I need to extend my work. I need a score viewing (and printing) for my Reaper projects.

What the best Way, or Tool, or Workflow, for editing Reaper MIDI as Scores ?

Thanks for ALL possible opinions !

it depends on your "scoring" needs.
if it's very basic writing and printing, the free musescore as an external midi editor will be the solution.
but if you need a complete, precise and powerful tool, nothing free in this case. Finale, or Sibelius, do this (Sibelius being the only one, as far as I know, rewire capable).
hope this helps, despite my poor english.

Sadly, what gibi25 says is currently the only option. I use Sibelius myself, though having to open a separate, resource-hogging program alongside Reaper just to be able to have a quick look at a notation view instead of just switching from piano roll etc., is very far from ideal; indeed it's a clunky solution at best.

It's clear that I'm not the only one who would love to see a native score editor in Reaper (every DAW capable of sequencing MIDI should have one!), and it has been promised by the developers, but unfortunately there's no sign of it yet...

Pretty much agree with the above...

Musescore http://musescore.org/

While it may not be as 'complete' as Finale or Sibelius, it's far lighter and or course free. Does a lot too.
