Both programs tell you where measures don’t add up correctly. multiple events happening at the same time on the same staff). Not only does PhotoScore get more notes right, it also does so in the correct voices (i.e. Both would require clean-up, but PhotoScore gets you further down the road. You can see an example of each program below, from the 3rd page of the same score. Perhaps the new SmartScore would have resulted in a better scan than the old PhotoScore, but Neuratron upped their game with PhotoScore and NotateMe Ultimate 8. My results? SmartScore is greatly improved, but PhotoScore remains better. But again, all of my music either is already scanned or will be scanned as a PDF, and if I am going to recognize it with software, I will not do so from yet ANOTHER scan in another format. TIFF file that SmartScore X2 prefers (it converts PDFs to TIFF files, where PhotoScore seems to just work with PDFs), I might get better results. It s possible that if I used a flatbed scanner, and scanned everything as a. I’m not throwing a single line instrumental score at these programs, or even a simple (clean) SA choral score. But still, this is a real life situation. The truth be told–I am used to having to delete all the text and enter it by hand regardless of the scanning program that I use. This particular scan has another language written on top of each line (it was obviously performed and translated in this other language), so not only do the programs have to make sense of the music–they also have to try to make sense of all the text.

The original PDF isn’t mine, as we don’t have the actual scores yet (they show up about a month before the show), so I am using someone else’s scan to get ready for the show. I am currently working on making some rehearsal tracks for a musical I am working with in the fall, so I simply took the next piece–which was already in a PDF format–and ran the two programs on it. I remembered that I had my Windows 8 tablet (last turned on in March), so I charged up that computer and downloaded the demo on that computer. I didn’t want to do that–$99 isn’t an impulse buy. I e-mailed again, and they encouraged me to buy the upgrade, and they told me would be willing to refund my money if I was dissatisfied.

I e-mailed Musitek, and asked for help, and they responded suggesting that I download and install the actual patch to X2, which I did.

I downloaded the new demo, and when I opened it to run, I was told the demo period had expired. In fact, the e-mail stated:Ĭlick here to download a free demo of SmartScore X2 Pro, Version 10.5.8 So with the announcement of SmartScore X2’s latest improvements, I wanted to try the program. I like to continue to give programs a chance to improve. Even so, I found that PhotoScore still did a better job than SmartScore X2, so I did not buy the update. At that point, PhotoScore had not been updated since 2011. When SmartScore X2 was released two and a half years ago, I downloaded the demo and compared PhotoScore and SmartScore X2. As a Finale user, I felt that I was “cheating” on the Finale ecosystem–but found that PhotoScore Ultimate simply did a better job of scanning (accuracy) than SmartScore X Professional.

PhotoScore is the scanning software paired with Sibelius. I was never really happy with the scanning results (always working with choral music), so I started to look at other solutions.įinally, I took the plunge and bought PhotoScore Ultimate.

For years, I used SmartScore and bought SmartScoreX Professional Edition to use to recognize music. That has changed somewhat as I have not upgraded to Finale 2014 and am instead using Notion (iOS and Mac/Win) while waiting for the next version of Finale.

Not long ago, Neuratron released its latest version of PhotoScore (now Photoscore and NotateMe Ultimate 8).
