I compose in my head... but use lilypond for notation. http://www.lilypond.org/ as it produces the best typesetting for music that I know of.
There was a front end to this as well - denemo? I gave up on all of the pre-processors (abc, pm-something) when the going got difficult with other needs (guitar TAB with obscure tunings or multiple voices on the same staff, for example) and went straight to MusixTeX. Great output, but fiddly markup. Hard to transcribe or jot down composition ideas in these formats too - that's where MIDI input and front ends seem to be of benefit.
