Greetings!
You might want to take a look at SharpEye, found at
http://www.visiv.co.uk/
This program does Optical Character Recognition on scanned sheet music
images, and (in my opinion) a decent job making the interpretation to...
MIDI Format.
The program is provided for a 30 day demo, and otherwise is not too
expensive. After having tried the demo, all I am waiting for is the
software to convert MIDI to PMX... (I prefer M-Tx, actually, so words could
be simply added.) The MIDI to M-Tx should not be that hard (I dream...),
but then just never have time to start the project :-(...
I know you would enjoy a look at this one, however.
Regards,
Joel Hunsberger
