You should download and check out the demo version of SharpEye! It is VERY good, it saves to Musicxml, which Finale comes with a plug-in to import into a Finale file. My scanner is being obtuse and not scanning in 2-bit mode, so I opened my original scan tif file in a photo editing program and changed it to 2-bit and saved it. I wasn't hopeful, looking at the scanned image, but Sharpeye did a great job. Admittedly it was only a single melody, about 8 staves long, and I haven't tried it with a score yet, but I was very impressed, after my dismal trials with MidiScan and SmartscoreLite.
Go to www.visiv.co.uk and download the free demo version (works for 28 days) and give it a good workout. I think you'll be very impressed -- I was! Now I just have to save up the registration fee (not unreasonable but not in the budget this month.) One of the McKays wrote: > Is anyone using it in Fin 2003?
