I call hogwash. Developing inner ear has nothing to do with using pencil & paper vs using notation software. A more meaningful distinction is whether you are composing by ear or not: * If you are plucking out every note and chord at the piano, then notating the ones you like with pencil & paper (or into notation software), you are NOT developing your inner ear. * If you come up with all the notes in your head and enter them directly into notation software (or on paper), then you are are using your inner ear. I agree that the processes of composition, arranging/orchestration and engraving are distinct, and should be approached as such. And I agree that developing your inner ear is crucial. But you can do all of that with the help of notation software, or not.
