Hello,

Is anyone aware of a program/software package that can take a scanned piece
of sheet music, and convert this into its MIDI equivalent?  I've heard of
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) before, but only one or two rumours
about any sort of music recognition software.  I would be very interested to
hear about ongoing developments in this vein.  Software like this would be
invaluable, IMO, given the vast amounts of sheet music available, and
relatively small number of late nights to spend electronically transcribing
it ;).

Cheers, rjc.
