Dynamics were also an issue when reformatting the layout. I ended up taking out most of the dynamics completely for the time being.
However, this tedious task actually helps you ensuring that the lyrics line up with their corresponding notes during reformatting.Īnother issue that I had was that the program kept recognizing dynamic markings as lyrics and I found it somewhat difficult to remove them.
It actually ended up taking me longer to clean-up the unrecognized lyrics than it did the music itself. You have to select the notes with the Lyric tool and then click into the text below the staff to edit them. This ended up being a bit more of a problem than I expected because of the way that the lyrics are tied together with their corresponding notes.
As I expected SmartScore Pro X did a great job recognizing the music, but the lyrics were a complete mess. So this week I finally received my version of SmartScore in the mail and I diligently began recognizing, editing and arranging “The Match That’s Made” by William Byrd. I did like the way PhotoScore laid the original music directly behind the vectorized version better than PhotoScore’s method of comparison, but since it wasn’t as accurate I decided it would still be more labor intensive in the long run to use PhotoScore. Now, not surprisingly, all of the music OCR programs seemed to have problems with dotted rhythms and staccato articulations, but SmartScore seemed to handle it best. I also found that in PhotoScore you had to go back and forth several times to the same menu items to do rather mundane tasks like adding dots to half notes. This reviewer felt that the keyboard shortcuts were much more intuitive than PhotoScore’s. In my initial tests, I found that SmartScore was much easier to use than PhotoScore. Who cares about the lyrics, I thought, I need this to recognize music not text anyway, right? However, I noticed that PhotoScore did a better job of recognizing lyrics than SmartScore. I found that SmartScore recognized the notes, articulations and dotted rhythms much more accurately than PhotoScore. While testing the demo versions I used the same cleanly scanned sheet of five line choral music from a book published in 1948. I decided to purchase SmartScore X Pro after I did some extensive testing on demo versions of it and Neuratron’s PhotoScore Ultimate, along with the less expensive limited editions of the SmartScore. I didn’t want to run into any copyright infringements for reproducing 500 year old music from relatively modern sources and thought that I should look into some music OCR programs to simplify the process of reformatting and arranging them. I Primarily bought it to publish a few songs that I am referencing in a forthcoming article about wedding music from the time of the Renaissance. I’ve recently purchased a copy of Musitek’s SmartScrore X Pro. If you have a memory card in your camera, you can also view photoscore from your camera.SmartScore Pro X Box, rests on a MacBook Pro a Harmonious Match For a Musical World Photo: Eric Ortner Even if you don't have a hard disk, you can still view photoscore. While earlier versions of PhotoScore required the user to insert a CD or a DVD in the computer, the latest version allows you to view photoscore with your computer's hard disk. This is useful especially if you don't have any of the previously installed PhotoScore components, because you won't need them to run the desktop application - and the desktop application is quite easy to use.

As a result, the software can be used directly from Windows, rather than having to install it first.
