PhotoScore & NotateMe Ultimate
Scan music for transposition, arrangements and editing
PhotoScore & NotateMe Ultimate 8 is the fully featured version of the PhotoScore & NotateMe Lite scanning software for Sibelius. Handwrite music on a tablet or laptop and convert your writing into professional sheet music. Scan printed sheet music into other MIDI software, such as sequencers. You can also use it on its own to scan, play back, transpose and print sheet music—and even save audio files.
PhotoScore & NotateMe Ultimate reads printed and handwritten music or PDF files in seconds—not just the notes, but also printed slurs, dynamics, text, guitar tab, chord diagrams and more. You can then edit or transpose the music, play it back, extract the parts and print.
Compose by hand
If you like to handwrite music, the NotateMe app lets you do exactly that using a tablet, smartphone, trackpad or mouse. And it’s now integrated directly into PhotoScore 8. Work on a Mac or PC. Scribble out symphonies with a Microsoft Surface and pen. Or compose on the go with your iOS or Android device.
Get better accuracy
Never miss a note, bar or slur. With the OmniScore2 dual-engine recognition system, you get over 99.5% accuracy when scanning most PDFs and original sheet music. Get improved recognition of tuplets and curved and distorted notation. Save time with more sophisticated automatic voice separation. You can even import JPEGs of scores you’ve taken with your phone or camera.
Work smarter and faster than ever
PhotoScore & NotateMe Ultimate now recognises printed music 30% faster, so you can get a head start on your editing. It can also read low-resolution PDFs and scans down to 72 dpi. Save sheet music as PDF files for easy printing. Work with Sibelius 8. And experience improved MusicXML score export, part extraction, recomposition and other enhancements.
Intuitive and easy to use
Ease of use has been a core design goal from the very beginning, and with automatic scanning and recognition, plus licensed Sibelius-style editing interfaces, PhotoScore & NotateMe Ultimate is fun and exciting to use.
