Hello Bernhard,
I think this would not be easy to do. Because of variations in scores it could
become
nearly as complex as handwriting recognition. I think you'd have to do it in
some Artificial Intelligence based way. Even to get a scanned piece of text from
the scanned image format to an ascii text file, software tends to make mistakes
(eg
if there happens to be some italic text).
