(Edit, Sept 2022: Promotion offer ended.)
PlayScore 2 is a very impressive app developed in the UK, which allows you to take photos of music scores and turn them into playable notation, including editable files in XML and Midi. You can also do the same with scanned and typeset PDFs. This app is most helpful in learning new music, and teaching choirs and ensembles their parts. This video demonstrates many of the features in PlayScore 2, which is currently available for Android and iOS (iPhone and iPad), and soon for PC too!

    Wow! Thanks for the very detailed review. This is very useful for memorizing music when you're not near an instrument. Like on a train, or in bed if you're not sleeping

    It will also works on Apple Silicon Macs! It also works really well with Dorico for iPad. It's supposed to also work for Sibelius for iPad. It also works with StaffPad for the iPad.

    Very interesting. I wonder how its accuracy compares to similar products like Neuratron Photoscore or Capella Scan, both of which I found rather unhelpful since correcting all the mistakes often took longer than typing up the score myself.

    I've used Photoscore in the past. The tech is still not perfect, but as I say with a good scan it will do a good job. I think this is better overall because of the tablet / mobile support.

    @@peporgan I’ve just tested it myself by running the same score through PlayScore 2 and Photoscore. PlayScore achieved a much higher degree of accuracy. Apart from misinterpreting a couple of accent and articulation marks as octave symbols, PlayScore gave a note-perfect rendition of a relatively complex piece of chamber music.

    Looks like a great programme to hear what obscure music I find on IMSLP sounds like. Btw, what is the instrument with the manuals with stops on a screen called? Looks like a synthesizer organ.

    Are you referring to the instrument in the background? It's a digital organ (Hauptwerk software)

    @@peporganyour channel is fabulous. I hope I get to hear your choir. This software is amazing. It’s a great tool for someone like me, returning to music after a decade. I have so much to learn. It’s also posing a question 🙋‍♀️. This highly affective AI is the mind of a future musical Android. Can you imagine 😮. A sort of advanced player piano. This tech gives me the courage to réengage classical piano studies on my own, as well es explore other instruments and styles. You also raised the observation that modern musical notation is very different today. Do you have a video explaining these distinctions? Was it primarily due to the popularity of certain instruments of the time? I shall see what I can find on the subject. Thank you 💕

    Hi can this allow you plug into midi on a digital piano, and check whilst you play, that you are playing the correct notes. For example, the notes turn green when you have pressed the correct key at the correct time?

    If the choral sheet music has two parts per staff, can the app separate and play each one?
