After 15 years of development, SmartScore 5 now exceeds 99% accuracy on well-printed scores. Still not satisfied, we decided to raise the bar even higher. SmartScore's editing and scoring interface has been rethought and rebuilt from the ground up. Besides having the world's most advanced music-scanning technology, SmartScore 5 is now one of the friendliest scorewriters available anywhere. Whether for editing scanned music or creating new scores from scratch, SmartScore is fast, easy and, well, smart! Playback is more accurate with greater nuance and sophistication. Dynamics, articulations, jumps and repeats have more intelligence with easy-to-use, easy-to-understand controls. Your final score can match the original or you can rearrange, reformat, resize and manipulate it with drag-and-drop ease. Print with engraver-quality results. Import perfectly formatted pages into Sibelius®, Finale®, Notion®, Encore® and other scorewriters supporting the MusicXML format.
