Scanner misreads constantly and you have to pay to import a photo.

Great App for Diatonic Sheet Music

I had difficulty with the app at first, but the PlayScore developer team was quick to lend a hand.

I did have difficulty scanning examples from Persichetti's Twentieth Century Harmony and Piston's Counterpoint, but the difficulty stemmed from: (1) The scans must be completely straight, in focus, and not distorted. My difficulty here was due to these books being hardbound and the pages hard to completely flatten. (2) I didn't know this, but the error correction assumes the music is diatonic. Persichetti's book is not at all about diatonic music. So, the developers suggested turning off error correction if the results were not correct. That worked.

Mentioning these in case others have these issues. All in all, the app does exactly as advertised.

Yay

Very good

laughed

ok to start off, genuinely sorry bout my last review.... it was a skill issue not an app issue.....🤦‍♀️. any way it is pretty great for getting the feel if a sheet. there are a few mess ups in each piece tho but its fine bc you know nothings perfect. to be honest tho i was kinda chuckling so hard last time i used it because it was playing one of my pieces and it was supposed to play an a.... it played the note but shot up like four octaves😂😂😂 i was genuinely dying laughing. but yea its really great!!😊 yet again sorry about my last review 😚😚

Annoying

Like i get that this app is a good idea but bro it is far too difficult to take a picture and line up the music. even when i line it up as best as i can, the reader skips lines, plays random, does that play at all and just sucks

Best App for playing notes

Awesome app to play notes

Response from developer

Thank you! Support@organumconsulting.com

Bad playback

It plays all the lines on a page simultaneously, as if it's a score. To hear a single line, you have to manually mute all other lines. Also plays incorrect rhythms if triplets are too close to or within 16th runs.

Bad

I scanned the paper to stuff and it doesn’t even give the right rhythm or beat. This app sucks.

Accuracy problems

After scanning the same sheet of music in multiples ways, lights, and backgrounds this system is just not accurate enough yet especially not being able to edit it or see where and what the incorrect notes even are.

Wow Amazing Tool

It works pretty well and it allows me to practice at home!

Quick response and Problem solved.

I had a problem with Split Staves. I simply couldn't make any headway with the issue, so I thought I'd just reach out to people via email. I was very pleasantly surprised to receive a very quick response—and that the problem was solved.

Response from developer

Very pleased to help. Help is always available on support@organumconsulting.com

Chaotique et peu performant

La numérisation OCR est de piètre qualité même avec une partition parfaitement scannée ou photographiée. L’ensemble est très décevant et ne mérite en aucun cas un abonnement !

Response from developer

It sometimes takes a little patience but you will get an accurate scan if you follow the help. Scan at 300DPI and also use 300DPI when converting to PDF. if you have a handwriting style font turn on ‘Jazz fonts’ in settings. Try again. If you would like us to fix it for you send us the Document. Support@organumconsulting.com

very solid!

the app does a wonderful job of reading notes and rhythms, but i play an instrument which isn’t in c, so the music i read never is able to be transposed. the app says it can transpose, but the feature is grayed out and doesnt function, and also isnt listed as a paid feature. besides that one issue, this almost entirely free app is a wonderful program

ガチで最悪

pdfのスコアを読み込んでMIDIにするために1,000円支払いました。結果できたものはグチャグチャ。原型を留めていない。こんなもんのために1,000円ドブに捨てたかと思うと腹が立ちます返金してください!

追記XMLに変換してくださいもなにもそもそものpdfスコアを読み取る精度が低いのに課金してからしかそれを知ることができないのはまるで詐欺です。最低なソフト

Response from developer

For a notation editor you should not use MIDI. MIDI is not suitable. Use MusicXML. Then your score will look right. Thanks support@organumconsulting.com

Wouldn’t It Be Lovely…..

As a professional musician and always eager to try new technology and apps sadly I found this App to be totally useless. A great idea and one which was tried many years ago by another scanning company but sadly not useable in the real world.

Fantastico

Super i love it

Needs work on rhythms

I tried using this to read my music and its good on notes but the rhythms need work. Inconsistent tempo and i think its based on what notes line up with a line moving at a constant speed

Also since this doesn’t support imports without subscriptions for whatever reason, BE CAREFUL with uploading images from your computer. If you aren’t careful it will get them COMPLETELY wrong.

Just trash

Okay so I got it to help me read my music, and it played some random notes that weren’t written. There were 8th notes and it read it as a triplet. Anyways, it did not help me at all, and just wasted my time

まあまあ、、?

日本語でだいたいかいてるしわかりやすいっちゃわかりやすい!
リズムは正確なんだけど楽譜によってはテンポが合ってないなーってやつもありますね、、
ピアノの楽譜だったらいいけど、例えばホルンやサックスなど、ピアノとドレミがズレている楽器の楽譜を読み取るとなると音程はズレます
音程はわかるけどリズムは分からない!って人が使う分にはいいと思います!
ただ先程言ったようにテンポがズレる時があるので注意⚠️
ちなみに音だけなら変えられますよ!
私は吹奏楽部でホルンをやってて、ホルンなんてないだろうなって思ったけどありました笑
音は豊富です!
音程も各楽器ごと変えられるようにしてくれたらパーフェクトです!!🎉
できれば変えれるようにしてほしい、、!

Response from developer

Yes you can change the pitch! For band scores with transposing instruments set ‘Auto-transpose’ in Settings (cogwheel). For single-staff parts use the ‘transpose’ control in ‘Staff settings’ (button bottom left). All explained in the help. Thanks support@organumconsulting.com
