many pros use whatever method is appropriate to the task at hand. that also includes writing music notation and hiring musicians to perform it (sometimes they even have a specific musician in mind whose strengths they are writing to). if you limit your musical ideas to only that which you can currently play by your own hands, you are imposing a needless artificial barrier on your output, which can drastically limit your professional prospects and inhibit your musical growth. i.e. you are limited by your motor skills (and your current inventory of gear) rather than by your imagination.Pros don‘t make music by drawing notes. Pros play them in. Go and get to become a pro!
playing is the most fun though. which in a way, ironically, makes it more "amateur" in one rather specific sense of the word (amateur musician as "a lover of music")
i'm a hack though, and you probably weren't serious anyway, so don't listen to me
