Would Ableton Live be suitable for MIDI composition? I was trying to use MuseScore with Cakewalk and its really fussy. I still don't really have a consistent way of getting it to actually come up correctly each time. Cakewalk's score editor is similarly unintuitive and does all kinds of screwy stuff. I was going to lean on Cubase since I was fine with it, like, two decades ago when I tried some version of it, but I wasn't doing scoring in it.

Edit: Okay, to be fair, Cubase costs quite a bit more and it does make me pause a lot.

From just skimming YouTube hits, it looks like it has the bare basic of importing a .mid file exported from something else, and it can do the thing I am trying now with Cakewalk of sending MuseScore 3 out to a loopback mock MIDI device routed into it. That method has been really error-prone in Cakewalk. Actually scoring on something like sheet music doesn't come up at all.

Should I not really expect a DAW to even have good management of sheet music? I might just be coming into it with a crappy expectation and instead should treat it as something more for editing and production.
