Finale v25 / SmartScore Lite / SmartScore X2 / Music-to-XML


For over 15 years, MakeMusic has partnered with Musitek to license a lite version of SmartScore within their Finale product. Last year we negotiated a new agreement that would embed our advanced SmartScore X2 recognition engine into Finale capable of processing PDF files. Unfortunately, a pre-release video of this new capability reached influential people in the music publishing business. They were astonished at the ease and accuracy of the paper-to-Finale transfer process (using a cell phone no less)… So much so that they began to worry about infringement. Accordingly, they pressured MakeMusic not to include the PDF-to-Finale module in Finale v25. Here is an online article if you wish to read more…

Our relationship with the folks at MakeMusic is still solid and we will continue to co-marketing one another’s products. Musitek will continue to offer a 1/2 price discount to owners of Finale, including Finale v.25. Moving forward, we are continuing to develop our “Music-to-XML” technology. This fall, we will be releasing a new desktop app that will process PDF, scanned .TIF and mobile camera images and output the results to MusicXML files. This Music-to-XML gadget will be a low-cost app and will soon be available at both Apple and Windows App stores.

Please visit www.musitek.com in October where you will be able to find out more about this wonderful new gadget.
