Customer Reviews:
 Some powerful features, but Scanning isn't one of them, 2006-08-04
If you're buying this for the scanning feature you may want to reconsider.
I tried the demo version of Print Music 2006, which, near as I can tell, is the same as the purchased version but with limited output.
I was mostly interested in the ability to scan sheet music so I could transpose for different instruments, and do some minor arranging.
First off, the program tells you to only scan "clean" original copies of printed music, not photocopies... okay... So, I scanned an almost new copy of concert band music. As another reviewer noted, the software changed the time and key signature, and put in notes and rests in place of other notes, etc. Trying to correct it was an exercise in frustration...
The music writing capabilities have powerful features, but there is a rather sharp learning curve, and the software seems to be quirky, and not very intuitive. It's a good value for the price for the music notation capabilities, but it's not easy to use for a "beginner" like the company's hype would lead you to believe.
