PhotoScore Ultimate 7 - Music Scanning Software

Item Description
PhotoScore software allows you to use your scanner to scan printed sheetmusic from musicbooks or even your own handwritten sheetmusic. It scans not just the notes, but also slurs, dynamics, lyrics, guitar tab, chord diagrams and more. After you scan it into your computer, you can then edit or transpose the music, play it back, extract the parts and print – just as if you'd inputted it yourself. New in PhotoScore Ultimate: Automatically scan and read multiple pages, streamlined user interface, save WAV/AIFF audio files, scan handwriten music and more!
