Before you scan
Scan printed notes, then check the result

Weak scans, dense engraving, and polyphony commonly require correction.
Fix the notes it misreads
Change notes, duration, key, lyrics and measures in the editor.
Private files stay private
Projects remain separate from public examples and evidence.
Formats and projects are portable
MusicXML, MIDI, Jianpu text, and Score JSON reduce lock-in.
