Trying to edit PDF pixels
Symptom: A scanned page looks editable, but the notes are still only an image.
How to fix it: Run recognition first or import MusicXML; the editor changes Score JSON and MusicXML, not pixels in a PDF.
See the real result first
Open a real structured score immediately, select a correction target, save a new revision, and keep MusicXML available for work in other notation software.
After
A corrected structured revision that can be rendered, played, transposed, split into parts, and exported.

Online notation creation
Create and edit sheet music online from MusicXML, MIDI, Jianpu, a reviewed scan, or an existing score project. The music notation editor keeps notes, measures, parts, and revisions structured so you can extract parts, collaborate, transpose, play, and export the same score.
Workflow
The public page leads into the authenticated app workflow when users are ready to process a score.
Import a structured score
Start from MusicXML, MIDI, Jianpu, Score JSON, or an OMR candidate promoted into an editable revision.
Select a correction target
Edit note/rest properties, measure attributes, harmony, tempo, dynamics, wedges, articulations, ties, slurs, lyrics, and barlines.
Save a new revision
Corrections are stored as new Score JSON revisions so history can be restored without losing earlier versions.
Product detail
Common errors
Symptom: A scanned page looks editable, but the notes are still only an image.
How to fix it: Run recognition first or import MusicXML; the editor changes Score JSON and MusicXML, not pixels in a PDF.
Symptom: A plausible edit fixes one measure but changes the intended voice or rhythm.
How to fix it: Keep the source visible and validate the whole measure before saving a correction.
Symptom: The musical data is editable but advanced page layout is not available.
How to fix it: Use this editor for structured correction and workflow continuity; finish specialized engraving in a compatible notation editor when needed.
Accuracy statement
Edits to structured notes are deterministic, but the editor cannot make an uncertain import correct by itself. MusicXML and MIDI can contain incomplete semantics, and OMR candidates can contain recognition errors. Accuracy therefore means preserving and validating the intended musical structure, not merely rendering a plausible page.
Workflow comparison
This compares workflow categories, not the overall superiority of any brand. Product scope and capabilities change over time.
| Workflow | Best for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| ScoreTransposer browser workflow | OMR cleanup, revision history, open-format export, and connected transposition/playback. | Advanced free-form engraving and page layout are still more limited than mature desktop suites. |
| Traditional notation editor | Deep engraving, layout, and composition from scratch. | Scan diagnostics and browser-based project continuity may require separate tools or file handoffs. |
| Scan-only OMR tool | Creating the first structured candidate. | It is not a replacement for measure-level correction and revision management. |
FAQ
Practical limits and the expected workflow for this score tool.
Start from MusicXML, MIDI, Jianpu, Score JSON, or an OMR candidate promoted into an editable revision.
Yes. Successful imports become Score JSON revisions that can be corrected, transposed, played, and exported from the score workspace.
Editing is built on Score JSON/MusicXML, not on PDF text or image pixels.
Yes. The editor supports structured score creation and correction, including notes, rhythm, score properties, revisions, and part extraction. Advanced desktop-style engraving and unrestricted page layout are still in development.
Related workflows
These pages use the same MusicXML and Score JSON source instead of sending the score through disconnected converters.
