PhotoScore Ultimate 2020 is the fastest way to scan music for transpositions, arrangements & editions.
It's the fully-featured version of the PhotoScore Lite scanning software included with Sibelius. Plus it can scan music into other MIDI software such as sequencers. You can even use it on its own to scan in, play back, transpose and print scores, and even save audio files.
PhotoScore Ultimate reads printed and handwritten music in seconds – not just the notes, but also printed slurs, dynamics, lyrics, guitar tab, chord diagrams and more. You can then edit or transpose the music, play it back, extract the parts and print – just as if you'd input it yourself.
More than 16 years experience in recognition technologies have gone into designing and creating the formidable OmniScore²™ dual-engine recognition system, incredibly making PhotoScore Ultimate 8 over 99.5% accurate on most originals!
PhotoScore Ultimate can read most printed musical markings, including: 5-line staves (normal and small), 4- and 6- line guitar staves, 1-, 2- and 3-line percussion staves Notes (including appoggiaturas, cue-sized and cross-staff notes), chords (including stem direction, beams & flags) and rests (including multirests) in up to 4 voices per staff Accidentals and articulation marks Clefs, key signatures, time signatures Tuplets/triplets The format of the page, including the page size, staff size, margins, and where systems end Slurs, ties and hairpins Text including lyrics, dynamics, fingerings, instrument names, tempo and technique markings Guitar chord diagrams Various other markings such as codas, segnos, ornaments, pedal markings and repeat endings 64 staves per page 400 pages per score
