Digitizing paper sheet music
Upload scanned sheet music, have it recognized automatically and turn it into a piece with just a few review steps.
Got a stack of paper sheet music and don't want to create it part by part by hand? With automatic analysis, you simply upload the scanned PDFs – SinfoniaOne suggests a title, composer and the matching part for each page. All you do is review and save.
Best on a computer
Uploading many PDFs and reviewing them is most convenient on a computer. It works on your phone too.
How digitizing works
Start the analysis
Open "Sheet music" in the menu, tap "Import" and choose "AI-assisted analysis". Upload your scanned PDFs there – several at once is fine.
Wait for the analysis in the background
SinfoniaOne now reads through the pages and tries to recognize the instrument, part, title, composer and genre. That takes a moment – the progress is shown. In the meantime you can keep using the app.
Review and correct the suggestions
Now comes the most important step. SinfoniaOne shows you its suggestions: which page belongs to which part, and which title and composer it recognized.
Go through it carefully:
- Check the part, title, composer, arranger and genre and correct them if needed.
- Assign pages to parts and drag them into the right order.
- Select a cover.
Suggestions are only a starting point
Recognition works with text patterns and is designed for wind bands – it guesses based on what's printed and isn't always right. Uncertain spots are marked with "REVIEW". Check every suggestion before you save – especially the assignment of pages to parts.
Save
Once you're happy, tap "Save". SinfoniaOne creates one piece from it – with one merged PDF per part. From now on you'll find it in your sheet music archive just like any other.
Recognition gets better over time
SinfoniaOne remembers your corrections and recognizes similar sheet music more reliably next time. The more you digitize, the less you have to fix – it happens automatically in the background.
Interrupted? No problem
A started upload is remembered. When you come back later, you can resume the open upload and pick up where you left off.
