I have this Junior Symposium Project that I have to do...my topic is Music Composition and I have like almost nothing done and its due on the December 11th...a week from now...I AINT GOT SHIT! I dunno what the hell I'm gonna do...I only have 2 of 5 sources, a quarter of an outline, and 15% of the project board done...I need some fuckin help! I cant find information on music composition software...not as in an actual program...just, music composition software in general...please help!

(btw...THIS PROJECT IS UBER GAY!...but...i gotta do it)

The leading maker of music engraving software is Sibelius - http://www.sibelius.com/products/index.html . Sibelius also makes some more initial-composition-oriented products. For music composition software, it really depends on the genre. A lot of electro/techno/expirimental is done using a tracking synthesizer/sampler, in which you place notes and effects on a grid that then scrolls upwards, notes being played as they hit the top. the most popular tracker (in my experience) is ModPlug, which is conveniently free. there's a pretty steep learning curve, and as a general rule music composition software sucks to use if you don't have a MIDI musical keyboard. People who don't plan on performing their music on the computer usually compose music in software that holds to more conventional music engraving. Sibelius products are very popular to them, as well as certain MIDI sequencers.

that said, don't make the mistake of thinking I'm a musician. Although I've tried to pick up trackers, I'm really not good at music in general.

But you would describe yourself as uber-gay, right, jean-luc? OP mentioned that the project is, too; I don't see how you wouldn't be able to help.

Depends on what you mean by 'uber-gay.' I have not so far developed a lisp (I got over my speech impediment!) and I'm not currently considering interior design as a career path.
I am gay, as you posit. However, I don't think I'd be any good at this project. Although I don't believe enough experimentation has yet been conducted to confirm this, your hypothesis is so far appears incorrect.
