If you had to write the score for an entire orchestra to perform, it would be a lot easier, and go much faster, if you had some music composition software. You could push a few buttons to assign the instruments to each section and choose a rhythm and then start adding in the notes that will finish out the set.
After you're done, you starting thinking about one of the parts and wonder what would happen if you changed the key signature for just a short part of the performance. It's easy to reload the file and start pushing some buttons, and with a mouse click you hear the results. No rubber trees gave up their spirits for an erasure to make those changes.
Switching tempo from one measure to another can be difficult enough when you don't have a computer. Making a change from four-four time to three-quarter time is easier using an editing program, than starting over from scratch with pencil and paper.
Creativity doesn't know a schedule, and it suddenly appears with an idea about changing a whole section to a different type of note. With the advent of computer programming it is possible to place a couple of marks and then change that long rift to staccato. In seconds you hear the results.
Violins and cellos are usually the core of the string section, and you want their magic to work on a different level. In a blink of the eye, you can change them to notes that are an octave higher. It easy to make them play counter-point while you are at it. Trombones could be a nice addition, here.
Four part harmony can become simple child's play when you can spend your time working on the melody, instead of futzing with tedious details. Making use of the benefits of the world of electronics, there could be some excellent developments in the performance you are creating with music composition software.
