MuseScore StudioProduct logo · See the interface on the official websiteCompose, print and play back sheet music.
MuseScore Studio is free GPLv3 notation software without a trial or paid feature tier. Windows and macOS downloads are available without MuseHub; Linux AppImages are also offered. MuseScore.com subscriptions, mobile products, and separately supplied sounds or plugins have their own terms and are not included in this desktop-software listing.
LMMSProduct logo · See the interface on the official websiteCreate beats, melodies and arrangements with local instruments and samples.
LMMS source is available under GPLv2 with a documented local build and release workflow and no required source-license subscription. Your computer, audio hardware, storage and optional third-party plugins or samples are separate costs. This does not establish current binary compatibility or every plugin license.

FeishinProduct logo · See the interface on the official websiteListen to music from your own Jellyfin, Navidrome or Subsonic server.
Feishin is GPL-3.0 software with free desktop and web clients. You need your own compatible music server, credentials and licensed music. Server hosting, storage and network costs are separate; it does not connect to Spotify or provide a paid streaming catalog. Optional lyrics and external integrations have their own data handling.
MopidyProduct logo · See the interface on the official websiteAn extensible music server for a computer or Raspberry Pi.
The Apache-licensed core is free and plays local audio files and internet radio. It runs on a computer with audio output and uses a web client or an optional MPD extension for control; hardware, storage and third-party client costs are separate. It includes no Spotify, Audible or Netflix subscription catalog. Service extensions have separate requirements: Mopidy-Spotify requires Spotify Premium and its current README warns that third-party access-token streaming has been disabled, so do not rely on it as free or guaranteed Spotify playback.
