While I would have loved to review Forte, and the company was kind enough to offer a copy so that I could do so, I couldn’t do so. I have never reviewed Forte as I haven’t personally used a Windows computer since 2008. ScanScore comes from the same company that makes Forte, a music notation program. This summer, I was contacted by the team at ScanScore about their latest update to their program, which was first released in 2018. As I said earlier, this is my first stop in scanning music, and it is often the last. Not only can you play back sheet music out of the app, you can export the resulting MusicXML file to any notation app on any device for further editing. If you haven’t purchased Sheet Music Scanner…get it today. And the best tools just keep getting better and better.Īnd do keep in mind that when you buy this app, you are supporting an individual programmer who has made a wonderful productivity app for musicians and music educators…at an incredibly affordable price. Changes are not revolutionary, they are evolutionary at this point. There are very few “exciting” new apps that enter the market. But let’s be honest…throwing a score like that at an app that has never had triplet scanning before is a little like asking someone who just started jogging to run a marathon.Īt any rate, this app is a wonderful example of iOS and where we are at. I haven’t tested the new capabilities very much but I did send a score with a lot of triplets (Robert Ray’s “He Never Failed Me Yet”) and sure enough, some triplets had been recognized. But many times, Sheet Music Scanner held its own. My workflow would always start with Sheet Music Scanner, and if that didn’t work well, I would move to PlayScore 2, or Notate Me (with the PhotoScore add-on). Sheet Music Scanner has long been a “Best Buy” for iPhone or iPad, offering pretty decent scanning of songs without the ability to recognize triplets. I recently heard from the developer of Sheet Music Scanner, and the app has recently been updated to allow for the scanning of triplets and sixty-fourth notes and rests.
