And it does so exceptionally well.Īlthough the interface is a little un-Mac like in places, Neuratron can be forgiven for that since the process of scanning in a huge variety of printed scores and rendering them very accurately (with 100% accuracy in some cases under test) in digital form works very well indeed. It converts paper scores into score files for importing into Sibelius (or, for that matter) otherwise working on and with. PhotoScore Ultimate 6 is the exact opposite. Indeed, it can still be a huge disappointmentâ€¦ misreads, smudges converted to apparently valid objects, objects missed, layouts garbled. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) has had a mixed past. But the Ultimate version is even more impressive. It’s a great taster of what this truly amazing product can do.

But the resources to which most users will want to turn have musch to recommend them as well. The main review examines this latest version, its strengths and what makes it so successful. Sibelius 6 is far and away best-of-breed as the gold standard of music notation software.
