Why is it easy to compose piano music?

Because you have to start from where you are. This should be fairly easy; otherwise you have not started from where you are.

Notating sheet music is very cheap or very expensive. You can buy a more or less expensive notation program as I have done or you can write on paper or use both approaches.

Very often I jot down musical ideas on ordinary white paper after drawing five lines by hand. It works fine if you can't find your manuscript paper.
