Musitek’s SmartScore X represents a revolutionary departure in music scanning technology. In addition to recognizing and reconstructing nearly any scanned musical score or PDF file with astonishing thoroughness and accuracy, it is also one of the easiest music-writing solutions available. Powerful and useful tools are never more than a button away. Complete layout control is at your fingertips. Change staff and system heights, horizontal and vertical margins, line spacing and note size simply by dragging control tabs. Center, offset and unify score layout with a single click. No other program handles scanned-in music so accurately, so simply and completely as SmartScore X. Other than the human artist, nothing applies so much nuance and realism to the performance of printed sheet music.

The SmartScore X line includes: SmartScore X Pro, SmartScore X Songbook, SmartScore X Piano, SmartScore X Guitar and SmartScore X MIDI. See "Features" tab for edition comparison chart.

What’s new in SmartScore X? Start with astonishingly accurate recognition of standard notation, text/lyric, dynamic/tempo markings. Codas, jumps, repeats and numbered endings all playback with uncanny accuracy. How about multi-staff tablature and percussion part recognition with its elegant new TAB editor? We bring a new standard of usability and logic with support for 2, 3 and 4-voice counterpoint. Try out the demo and discover what SmartScore X can bring to your home studio, church or school.

What’s new in SmartScore X?

Scan, Play, Transpose & Print! There is no faster way to get printed sheet music into your computer and there is no simpler way to capture, transpose, play back, edit, transform and export music back out. SmartScore’s SmartScan™ interface operates almost any scanner and adjusts each setting automatically. No guesswork or expertise required. SmartScore X recognizes more musical symbols more accurately and more quickly than any other music-scanning software. Songbooks, band arrangements, lead sheets, operas, hymnals, musicals, orchestral parts and conductor—s scores appear on-screen in editable and playable form within seconds after scanning. Nuances written into scores are accurately captured resulting in astonishing playback realism. Output to Finale®, Sibelius®, MusicXML PDF, MIDI and audio (.WAV) file formats. Nearly any PDF file is accurately recognized, including those optimized for the web.

Used by students, hobbyists, arrangers, copyists, music ministers and educators worldwide, SmartScore is a complete music software solution, not just half of it. From scanning, recognition and playback to editing, scoring, layout and print control, SmartScore X stands apart as the only fully integrated music-processing tool.
