Well, less than perfect though it is, I don't think I'm quite ready to give up on scanning altogether.
I have the full version of Smart Score (and there's a new version shipping next month)
I've noticed that they do some basic things like transposition, which to be honest is about 90% of the reason I want to scan parts, so it turns out that Smart Score by itself is all I would need IF (big IF) the recognition was reasonable.
So far I've tried a few things and it seems passable.
I think I might actually try scanning something and take a look at it now to see whether I should just re-enter it rather than play with the scan. A few months ago I thought it wasn't worth the time to try scanning, now I think things may be a LITTLE better.
