Need Notation Software...

Sign in to disble this ad
Hopefully this is the correct section to post this.

I'm looking for software that works on Macintosh OS X that can take scanned sheet music and turn it into tablature, which can then be printed. I do not want to spend $600 for this software. Does anyone know of a good, reliable, easy to use program that does this and doesn't cost a fortune?

There's also Finale PrintMusic, which costs $60 - $90, depending on where you get it. (Try Amazon).

I've demo'd it, but haven't used it to do exactly what you describe. But it claims to allow scanning of printed sheet music, and it also claims to generate tab "automatically by dragging standard notation onto a Tab staff".

It's probably not as easy as it sounds (nothing is particularly intuitive about Finale), but there you go. Find the 21-day free trial download.
