Thanks Mario. I think you are getting at what I am looking for. That it is a workflow question.

That is, the difference between simply inputting chords, vs creating tracks from scratch to have more flexibility.

If doing tracks from scratch it seems the typical way is using a DAW to work in.

However, from a lot of what I've seen about Ableton it is unique, in that it is a loop and pattern based sequencer as opposed to a linear sequencer, AND it can be edited without stopping the live playback. Different than most other DAW's

I am strongly leaning toward creating tracks from scratch at this point.

EDIT: What I mean by composition is creating original music, working with melodic ideas in an improvisational free way.
