Yes, I also tried a few. But SmartScore Pro produces really good results (of course depending on the image resolution). If your imag has only four pixels or so between the lines of each staff (which means that the beams of the 16th notes are basically only one fat beam; I've tried such a piece more or less successfull), then you'll have to do a lot of editing, but with 300dpi I got really good results. > Myriad (the makers of Harmony Assistant) have a program called > PDF-to-Music that does pretty well, but then you're stuck with the file in > their closed-source format. Note that for this you'll need a real PDF containing lines, curves, etc., not a PDF containing an image of the score! > I'd be interested to know of a non-proprietary music OCR program as well. Audiveris is the only usable open source OMR application that I know: https://audiveris.dev.java.net/ It still has it quirks and you'll have to do a fair amount of corrections, though.
