New Free SmartScore Lite Scanning offers the best accuracy at the lowest cost. Scanning has finally arrived! And it took Finale 2003 to do it. No other notation program offers better scanning accuracy. Case closed.

Take a look for yourself.

Here's the original:

Scanned into Finale: Only 5 easy edits needed.

Another notation product using PhotoScore Lite™: 30 difficult edits needed:

These examples were scanned from original engraved music (no photocopies), using a Canon N670U scanner at 360 dpi. The scan for Smart Score Lite was a line art (black and white) tiff file, and the scan for Photoscore Lite was a grey scale, the preferred file type for Photoscore. Both images were untouched to enhance results. The Photoscore example was transferred, without edits, to the most current version of a competitor's product. The time to correct errors in the two examples- Finale, 10 seconds to add missing rests and tie necessary notes, hence the term 'easy edits' compared to the 2 minutes it took to add voice 2 notes, correct notes, change notes from voice 1 to 2 etc in the competitor's product, thus the term 'difficult' or time consuming edits.
