Lilypond is a nice, high-quality and free music program:
http://lilypond.org/

It is very different to use from most of the others available as it
involves entering music in text format (rather like you write HTML to
create a webpage) rather than using a graphical user interface, but once
you get used to it it has _very_ powerful notational capabilities.

Best wishes,
