    There's a newer product, Soundslice, which uses AI to have much more accurate sheet music scanning.

    Hello, I would like to inquire how to extract individual parts from a score once I have inputted it into the app. Should I transfer them to Musescore to complete the process? Additionally, if there are anti-copy markings and the notes are not recognized correctly, how can I resolve this issue? Thank you.
    If you need any further assistance, feel free to ask!

      Answer to Your Question:
      From what I understand, after opening the score in the Capela Scan program, you would like to isolate a specific section because you don’t want or need to copy the entire score. If that’s the case, here are some options that can help:
      Scan the Entire Page and Delete Unwanted Parts (Recommended): This is the most practical and quickest method. When saving, the program will keep only the parts that were highlighted in green.
      Use the Capela Scan Editing Tools: Capela Scan provides editing tools, such as the scissors, which allow you to crop the desired section directly within the program interface. Another option is to use an external program or website, like iLovePDF, to separate the necessary section before importing it into Capela Scan.
      If your question is about how to split a file with multiple pages into individual files, to avoid crashes since Capela Scan works best with one page at a time, equivalent to an A4 sheet, the solution is simple. Capela Scan offers a button that automatically divides the PDF into separate files, creating one file per page. The program also renames and saves the files to the folder you designate. This process was demonstrated in my video.
      Final Note:
      Avoid opening PDF files with more than 50 pages in Capela Scan, as this may cause crashes. If necessary, use a program or website to split the PDF into smaller parts, such as iLovePDF.
      Regarding the issue of scores with anti-copy markings, I haven't tested the program with such marked scores. This would be an interesting test to understand the program’s behavior in this situation. Therefore, I can only speculate on the matter.
      I think the program will be able to read the score, even with the anti-copy markings, but some parts might not be recognized correctly, as the markings could interfere with the reading. These parts can likely be "fixed" in Capela Scan before saving the file and sending it to the sheet music editor. However, after sending it to the editor, a review will be necessary to ensure everything is correct.
      I hope I was able to answer your question. If not, you can rephrase your question and send it to me again. Note: Since I don't speak English, it would be ideal for you to write a more detailed text, with more words, so I can better understand your question, as there will be more context, information, etc.

    PDFtoMusic Pro is the best pdf files created by music notation software: for Function and Price. It also has a batch mode converter option to handle 1000s of pdfs at a time. Though large documents causes it to crash. Which they ask for feedback and will respond to you. Like with all converters apps which claim to handle images based pdfs or non-music notation created pdfs don't waste your time using them. Do them by hand or expect long clean-up hours for large documents. Presently, looking to see if A I is working on a solution.

    My only problem is that it costs over $200, and doesn’t work the best for that price, in my experience with the trial I had to go back and edit almost everything anyways, so it’s 200 bucks for something that doesn’t even work the best

      Determining whether the $200 value for Capella Scan is justifiable involves a subjective assessment, in which factors such as the economic context, personal financial conditions, necessity, preferences, and availability of alternatives play prominent roles in this analysis. In summary, the perception of the adequacy of this value varies considerably among individuals: while some consider it excessively high, others deem it reasonable due to the benefits offered by the software.
      The task of setting a price for a product is highly complex and requires considering various economic scenarios, with the market being the predominant factor in the final outcome of the value. However, it's essential to highlight that, although $200 might seem a reasonable amount in certain regions and for certain people, it's crucial to recognize that in countries with devalued currencies, like Brazil, this amount can have a significant impact. The disparity in purchasing power among nations underscores the need to employ pricing strategies that are more sensitive to local economic conditions, thus ensuring global accessibility of technological products.
      As for the effectiveness of the Capella Scan tool, this can vary significantly depending on the context of its application and the user's level of knowledge. My experience with the program has undoubtedly been positive, as I achieved all the goals I had set. A concrete example of this is the successful conversion of 25 studies by Mateus Carcasci, originally in PDF format, into XML format, resulting in an excellent final product that required only minimal adjustments. Continuous practice and familiarity with the tool not only enhance the final result but also develop the ability to deal more effectively with limitations and potential issues.

      You are right; this part of the video didn’t turn out well because the list of file formats supported by the program is quite extensive.
      Asking the AI to read the complete list made the video longer than necessary.
      I confess I felt a bit sad to learn that you stopped watching it because of this small detail.
      I know my video is very simple and that it doesn’t have editing (since I still don’t master that skill); however, I can assure you that it was made with a lot of love and care, with the sole purpose of helping people convert their scores to MusicXML in the best possible way.

    £200 for software that doesn't work. No thank you.
    £5 for Newzik, works amazingly.
