As a former user of Finale, MuseScore, ImproVisor, etc., my favorite free sheet music/pdf creator is Lilypond. If you're into computer scripting, it is great. I create my own front-ends to Lilypond for specific purposes. For instance, I use one GUI front-end for quickly entering leadsheet chords/melodies; but another for entering four-part harmonies. There are also other GUI front-ends available for download. But a front-end isn't necessary...as a basic text editor is all you need (along with Lilypond).

The basic syntax for music entry is odd at first look, but very efficient once you get used to it - and you can use any text editor to enter the music - then process the text file through Lilypond when you get to your computing device.

The support documentation is thorough and a person can find many examples to achieve the desired results.

The output is clean.

For the non-computer-scripting folks, (as others have suggested), MuseScore works well.
