These options are included in the desktop app, in NotateMe > Handwriting Area.Īs is has long been the case with PhotoScore files, you can send a NotateMe score directly to Sibelius from within the app.

As noted earlier this week, the latest version of NotateMe offers different handwriting area options including an Overlaid option and a Bar by Bar option. NotateMe on the desktop appears to be a straight port of mobile versions for Apple’s iOS and the Google Android OS, so if you already use the software on one of those devices, you’ll feel right at home with no learning curve. There is a full screen option to get rid of the taskbars and menus so you can fill your entire screen with music.

PhotoScore & NotateMe Ultimate 8 running on a Microsoft Surface Pro Images are downsampled, making the music look rather fuzzy with jagged lines unless you zoom in at a high level. The desktop version of NotateMe, Neuratron said in a press release, is “especially optimized to work with Microsoft Surface, but also works with other stylus devices or a mouse/trackpad.”Īlthough that may be the case, the program doesn’t take full advantage of the high DPI of the Surface. Thus the new desktop product is officially known as PhotoScore & NotateMe Ultimate.

Integrated into the software is a desktop version of NotateMe, which the company says has already been downloaded on hundreds of thousands of devices around the world. Today Neuratron released PhotoScore Ultimate 8, its latest version of the venerable music scanning and recognition software for Mac and Windows PCs.
