Indicate transpositions of parts and assign an instrument for each staff, along with an abbreviation for its name and a General MIDI instrument to use in PrintMusic's score playback. If it covers only one page, or you've reached the last scan in the series, click on the "Finish" button instead.Ĭlick on the "Begin Recognition" button to open the Instrument Name Assignments dialog box. If your score spans more than one sheet, click on the "Next Page" button when the dialog box asks if your document includes additional pages. If you see an inverted preview - white staves on a black background - click on the "Invert" button to correct the way the document will scan.Ĭlick on the "Final Scan" button to acquire a single page. Click on the "Deskew" button to adjust the alignment of staves or paper if either appears crooked in the preview image. Set the Brightness slider to compensate for tinted paper, faded originals or background tone. To override these settings, adjust the Resolution slider to the desired pixels-per-inch value. Use the Automatic settings to let SmartScore Lite determine resolution and cropping based on its built-in algorithms. Open the PrintMusic "File" menu, choose the "Import" submenu and select "SmartScore Lite Scan." If the SmartScore Lite dialog box opens without a preview, click on the "Preview" button to prescan your document.Ĭonfigure your scanner in the SmartScore Lite dialog box. Use a cleanly printed original with 16 or fewer staves. Set your document on the scanning bed, aligning it squarely with the device's guide strips. If it includes a transparency adapter, verify that it will default to reflective scanning from below the original document rather than the transmissive light source built in to the scanner lid. Power up your scanner and wait for it to warm up.
