* [https://musescore.org/ MuseScore] open-source notation software. Can be microtuned with the [https://github.com/euwbah/musescore-microtonal-edo-plugin retuner plugin for almost any edo]. The [https://musescore.org/en/project/xentuner Xentuner] plugin by [[Keenan Pepper]] is also very good. See [[MuseScore]] for the dedicated page.
* [http://www.lilypond.org Lilypond] Free, open-source, outstanding notation software that produces beautiful engraving-quality output on a par with commercial applications like Sibelius. Thanks to the [http://x31eq.com/lilypond/ work of Graham Breed], can use [[Sagittal notation|Sagittal]] glyphs. With the [http://www.ekmelic-music.org/en/software/ekmelily.htm Ekmelily] extension, it can support several other notation styles, namely [http://www.ekmelic-music.org/en/em-n.htm Tartini, Richter Herf/Madel and Sims].

* [http://www.computermusicnotation.com/ MaxScore] is an Java object for Max/MSP. It is based on Nick Didkovsky's JMSL which natively supports quarter-tone notation, but is capable of playing back microtonal music with unlimited precision. In the most recent version of MaxScore, microMaps have been implemented in the score canvas that allow the display of microtonal inflections in any kind of notation system provided that a font exists to represent those inflections. So far, microMaps for 48TET and 72TET exist. It is planned to develop an standalone editor which doesn't require any Max programming expertise.
