Hello,
I am a new user of Trisquel 6.0 (on a laptop).
I am looking for a free software (meaning of Richard Stallman and Free Software Foundation) in order to :
- create music sheet, that I can print (A4 format), save, modify and share, (one sheet for several music instruments)
- eventually read the sheet (we can "hear the sheet", choose the instrument).
Thank you in advance.

Try MuseScore:

Is in Trisquel repos, but if you want the latest version add this ppa:

Hello, Khany,
Thank you for the answer ! this free software seems to be very good !
P.S. : I didn't know this librist song.

Two other options are GNU Denemo and Rosegarden.
Denemo is good if you don't mind fewer features, the lack of true "WYSIWYG", or you want a lightweight app (or a GNU app), but Rosegarden, as a score editor, actually surpasses MuseScore in one way: it quantizes your MIDI keyboard input on the fly and maps that to notation, in time. You have to play very accurately for this to be reliable, however.
Thank you for your answers. I'll try these three free softwares.
There's also GNU LilyPond. With it you write scores in plain text files and make sheets and audio files from them.

I highly doubt he intended to work that way, though. Editing a text file to make a score can't be fun ... and it must have a big learning curve!
Denemo is, in fact, a graphical front-end to LilyPond.
I used to write sheets with LilyPond and find it fun.
