Create a MIDI/XML/Musescore file from a picture of a score
I uploaded a short SATB song in PDF. The resulting .mscz has 2 voices, each one having 2 notes! I wanted 4 individual voices so I can prepare rehearsals!! What am I missing? Is there an option? What did I do wrong?
This is really great!!!
Helps so much to get my scores into musescore. Much better then there own stuff
Im glad you released the lyrics this was the one feature wich was pretty much missing to me
Works pretty well with old sheet music. Will there be also a version for Linux?

This got to be the worst note recognition I have seen in a while. Absolutely horrendeous.

I bought the app 2 months ago and cannot start the app on my MacBookPro (via Muse Hub as required). Tried all suggested ideas by the support (AI?). Real support seems not to exist, or if it does I only get repeatedly already tried suggestions how to fix this. I don’t think anyone is reading my reports to support. No surprise the app is getting cheaper and cheaper.

It was working up until about 2 weeks ago. Now no matter what I try the program does NOT work. I have done everything that support told me and still nothing. What a piece of garbage for a program.
