Sibelius PhotoScore Ultimate Sheet Music Scanning Software (Macintosh and Windows)

PhotoScore Ultimate 5 is the fastest way to scan music for transpositions, arrangements & editions. It's the fully-featured version of the PhotoScore Lite scanning software for Sibelius and G7. Plus it can scan music into other MIDI software such as sequencers. You can even use it on its own to scan in, play back, transpose and print scores, and even save audio files.

PhotoScore Ultimate reads printed and handwritten music in seconds – not just the notes, but also printed slurs, dynamics, lyrics, guitar tab, chord diagrams and more. You can then edit or transpose the music, play it back, extract the parts and print – just as if you'd input it yourself.

PhotoScore Ultimate 5 is importantly the world's first commercial software designed to read handwritten music. It is currently optimized to allow composers to create scores by hand away from computers, say by a favorite instrument or lying in a field!
