Working from a nice clean image seems to give the best results.If I have several pages / tiff files, then I use Irfanview to combine them all into one tiff file (or a PDF would work just as well). I don't usually scan directly into Smartscore, I scan into Photoshop and then edit out all the extraneous bits (could use Gimp, or Pixlr instead) like fingering, dynamics, Barre positions etc. I get the best results using greyscale images at 350 dpi. As you say the recognition isn't great (works best on very simple scores). So, like you I upgraded to their X2 Songbook Edition which allows three staves. I also originally had only the Guitar Edition which allows you just one stave - not great if you want to work with duet material. Saves a lot of hassle, unless, of course, you are wanting to use the GP features for practicing / playing along etc.ĭaveLloyd wrote: ↑ Thursday 04 January 2018, 17:06 pm Hi Alan,I use Smartscore as well. ly, but I could well be wrong) and upload them to the cloud.

If you are working with a PC / Mac as well, then you can export your Guitar Pro Files as PDFs (in TablEdit, I think you have an intermediate step of having to export to Lilypond file. I have seen other apps but haven't tried them so can't comment. I don't bother with too much editing in Smartscore itself - as you say, too tedious - I just do the easy stuff and then save the file as xml and pull it into Guitar Pro where it's much easier to work with.
