    This apparently does exist and is called OMR(Optical Music Recognition) software

    It exists, but every bit of software I've tried has incredibly poor performance on anything except the absolute cleanest typset printed pieces.

    I wonder if an AI can do that? It's obsoleted LeafSnap.

    just tried with the free version of claude. It works a lot better than anything else I've tried but it's not perfect, averaging ~2 mistakes per 10 bars for a relatively simple score.

    Seems strange that it's so hard to get right. I guess it's a bit like reading handwriting - subtle tiny differences?

    Does it give you a midi file from a scanned musical piece?

    If I was to build something like this, could you beta test? Sounds like a fun weekend project for me 😄
