If these pages are printed or in pdf etc., you will need a conversion utility to import the scans.

SmartScore X2 Pro is $199 for Finale users through the MakeMusic Score and is full featured. Look under Recommended Products.

Musitek's Music-to-XML costs half that but you are unable to edit before you import to Finale, a decided disadvantage for many of us.

If you have an older version of Finale or PrintMusic installed, you can still use SmartScore Lite to import to that version, then export as Music XML. This will not import lyrics nor most markings. Neither is it as accurate as either of the above.

I found the older version with SmartScore Lite frustrating to use because it was so inaccurate.  I transpose on a regular basis.  Before I spend the $199, is the SMartScore X2 Pro easier to use and more accurate?

You are not alone. I found it useless though many others do not think as poorly of it as I do.

Easier, yes, because it is more accurate and you can export as MusicXML. It also handles most lyrics and expressions. Easier doesn't mean no work at all but I find it a time saver.

Musitek maintains a Facebook page—that's the best place I know to get help and answer any presales questions you might have.

Thanks so much for the help.

I wouldn't say that the full program is easier to use. It's as complex as any other advanced program, and has a learning curve. However, the investment in both time and money is worth it, if you plan on doing a lot of scanning.

Thanks, Mike — I didn't know that.

I agree and tried to qualify my answer in that regards. I found SS Lite a waste of time and don't think the same about SS X2 Pro.

Hmmm... turns out that I joined in 2012. I found the following:

The results you see in the X2 Pro demo will be exactly the same when recognized by the M2XML gadget because Music-to-XML and SmartScore X2 Pro share the same recognition engine. 

NOTE: The SmartScore X2 Pro demo does not save or print so you will not be able to test .XML output. If you require further testing, you may send us a PDF or TIF file you’re working with. As a courtesy, we will return to you the MusicXML output.<
