Creating songs by using intuitive method often faces deadlock because it requires high level of ideas and creativity. Through this research paper, the researchers have analyzed the alternative path of creativity in creating a song based on computer music notation. The application used is Sibelius 7 First software (hereinafter abbreviated Sibelius), which is also used as a method to create the songs. The researchers tested it by making a number of songs in a one month. The results showed that the process of creating songs using Sibelius was relatively fast because, within a month, it could create nine songs that were quite varied both in melody and rhythm. The melodies of the created songs were recorded directly in the computer, could be evaluated and modified directly according to the creator's wish, and could be heard directly without having to involve others to sing. When the songs were filled with vocals and tested for quality by being played directly to students, their responses showed a positive acceptance of the quality and aesthetics of the melody and the rhythm of the song. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of computer music notation could increase creativity in creating quality songs. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
