The technology behind LiveScores

LiveScores is ourAI-poweredOMR (optical music recognition) technology. It converts your PDFs into interactive sheet music, combining the advantages of PDF, MusicXML, and MIDI to offer guided reading, section navigation, andexport to your editing tools.

AI-powered OMR

Our internal OMR engine usesdeep learning models to understand musical notation and structure and extract a usable representation of the score.

Trained on a large scale

The models are trained on a large corpus of sheet music, supplemented by synthetic data (generated to cover a variety of cases), in order to improve recognition accuracy.

An interactive format

Once the conversion is complete, the score becomes a LiveScore: guided playback, section navigation, and MusicXML/MIDI export for working in your notation software.

Transposition after conversion

Transposition is available after conversion to LiveScore: adjust the key and clef according to the instrument or range, or export to MusicXML to refine the arrangement.

Get better LiveScores

Input: your PDF files

LiveScores converts PDFs of sheet music. Choose clear, high-contrast scans without cropped edges or skewed pages. Avoid heavily damaged manuscripts: the quality of the input directly affects the conversion.

Outputs: MusicXML & MIDI

After conversion, you can export to MusicXML (editing in notation software) and MIDI (listening, rhythmic work, mock-ups). These exports are linked to the LiveScore obtained.

Transposition (after conversion)

Transposition becomes available after conversion to LiveScore. Adjust the key and clef according to the instrument or vocal range; for advanced modifications, export to MusicXML.

Known limitations

Blurred, low-contrast, or highly complex scores may reduce accuracy. Conversions are continuously improved, but the quality of the source remains decisive.

Very useful

I was looking for something that would help me find the right rhythm, and the live score feature really helped me improve, especially because it lets you choose different instruments to better understand the music by giving an example of how it should be played.

Fantastic

I love this app, which allows me to travel with all my sheet music and everything I need to work on it. Metronome, tuner, ability to import audio files and convert sheet music into MIDI files. Plus the looper with LiveScores. Thank you.

The dream come true

With the new version, I finally have near real-time transposition to play the tenor sax (+1 tone) in record time! A huge thank you!
