capella-scan is the perfect addition to capella or your music notation program. capella-scan converts your printed music sheets into a capella or MusicXML file. Edit this file in capella or your preferred music notation program according to your ideas.

Who needs capella-scan?
You already have the sheet music of a work that you want to practice or play, but you can't use it as is. Something has to be transposed, rearranged, simplified, changed, shortened, supplemented or edited in some other way. Maybe you just need one part from a score. Perhaps you want to combine several parts into one score. In all of these cases, you could type the music with your music notation program before further processing - or better yet, scan it with capella-scan.

How it works
Scan sheet music or read a PDF. The music sheet can also be a digital photo.
The note and text recognition function is activated at a click. capella-scan has been developed to recognize notes including bar lines, accidentals, clefs etc. and to transform sheet music into capella files. The entire process takes only a few seconds.
Text is recognized and handed over correctly to capella. Small adjustments can be done directly in capella-scan.
By opening the scanned file in capella notation software (available separately), you can print the file to your specifications. You will find that all the notation program's score editing functions are available for editing your new file. You can, of course, also produce part extraction or change the notes yourself - there are no editing restrictions whatsoever.

What can capella-scan do?
Your sheet music contains text?
capella-scan distinguishes between text objects (titles, articulation symbols, lyrics) and chord or voice names. In capella, you will find everything in its correct place! This saves a lot of your time.
Do you want to see the result of the recognition immediately?
capella-scan draws the recognized objects (notes, etc.) directly into the scanned score - in color! This way you can find any errors immediately. In addition, in the export preview you can see in black and white what will arrive in the target program.
You only need one part from the score?
With capella-scan you can exclude parts from processing and directly create a part extraction.
Would you like to avoid using the indirect route via Midi format?
capella-scan has been optimized for capella: Many of the score layout's properties such as vertical intervals, accolade brackets, the size of note lines etc. are passed on to capella by capella-scan. This means that you will not have to edit the layout afterwards.
Would you like to have a listen?
capella-scan plays the recognized notes directly.
Would you like to use capella-scan in conjunction with your existing music program?
Thanks to its MusicXML and Midi export function, capella-scan provides you with contact to the outside world. Indeed, you can use capella-scan in conjunction with other software products.
Don't need sheet music at all, just a recording?
capella-scan has an MP3 or Wave export.
