There have been a relatively large number of OMR projects falling in and out of obscurity, forked, taken over, mixed with closed source and then die. I was looking for an OMR package in portage to scan PDF sheets of music and then split different voice parts out into separate midi files - but if a single application will do the full workflow then I would be more than happy. > A quick search led me to audiveris.

There are also a number of other applications some of them for Linux - but I haven't found one yet in portage (TBH I wouldn't know its name off- hand). >From what I read here Rosegarden will not perform OMR itself, but will import various file formats: https://www.rosegardenmusic.com/doc/en/file-other.html -- Regards, Mick
