With features like effortless transposition, instant reformatting, and customizable layout controls, it’s designed to enhance your musical experience and streamline your workflow. ## Description Discover the art of the song! Transpose and print entire songs within minutes after scanning. SmartScore Songbook Edition is identical to SmartScore Pro Edition, just limited to processing music with a maximum of 3 staves per system (e.g. Vocal/Piano arrangements). Scan, Play, Transpose & Print! There is no faster way to get printed sheet music into your computer and there is no simpler way to capture, transpose, play back, edit, transform and export music back out. SmartScore’s SmartScan interface operates almost any scanner and adjusts each setting automatically. No guesswork or expertise required. SmartScore X recognizes more musical symbols more accurately and more quickly than any other music-scanning software. Songbooks, band arrangements, lead sheets, operas, hymnals, musicals, orchestral parts and conductor’s scores appear on-screen in editable and playable form within seconds after scanning. Nuances written into scores are accurately captured resulting in astonishing playback realism. Output to Finale, Sibelius, MusicXML PDF, MIDI and audio (.WAV) file formats. Nearly any PDF file is accurately recognized, including those optimized for the web. Used by students, hobbyists, arrangers, copyists, music ministers and educators worldwide, SmartScore is a complete music software solution, not just half of it. From scanning, recognition and playback to editing, scoring, layout and print control, SmartScore X stands apart as the only fully integrated music-processing tool. ## Features - 98+% recognition accuracy on well-printed music including lyrics, text, articulations, tempo and dynamic markings - Accurate Playback including dynamis, repeats, numbered endings, jumps and segnos - Transpose all or part of your score by key or by clef - Rearrange and reformat your entire score with just a few mouse clicks - Control layout, margins and image scaling for practically every print or PDF requirement ## Images ![SmartScore X Songbook Edition [Old Version] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61s5rs9pyeL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Platform For Display, Edition** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not real happy at this time! *by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2013* The transposition is good. The navigation is partly good. The rest is so cumbersome it is very hard to use. The recognition is a disaster. The best part is that it does the transposing very quickly but lots of cheaper products do that also. Is there a way to get tutored on the program? ### ⭐ False advertising, worthless software, abysmal customer service *by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2010* I bought SmartScore Songbook as an "upgrade" from SmartScore Lite, which came packaged with  Finale PrintMusic 2011  (made by a different software manufacturer, MakeMusic). I bought the $99 + shipping upgrade expecting Songbook would serve as a seamless transition from my "raw" music to Finale PrintMusic, which I use to edit and output my music. SmartScore Lite had yielded very poor results scanning printed sheet music, and I hoped for a big improvement with SmartScore Songbook.After receiving the Songbook package and working through the tutorials in the "Introduction to SmartScore" manual, I tried processing a short PDF file (of public-domain opera music) I had downloaded from the Internet. But SmartScore Songbook introduced so many errors into the music that I decided it would cost me less time and effort to enter the music note-by-note into PrintMusic, than to clean up the mess presented by SmartScore. This, despite the claim by software manufacturer Musitek, on its web page soliciting the upgrade, that SmartScore can "recognize almost any PDF image including...web-based files." Worse still, every time I've tried scanning sheet music -- even very clearly printed music -- into SmartScore Songbook, I've gotten worthless results, with SmartScore often crashing. (I use an iMac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, running Mac OS Leopard, ver. 10.5.8). To top off the disaster, SmartScore Songbook hijacks my interface between sheet music and Finale PrintMusic, substituting itself as the music-editing program and providing no way to export my scanned music into PrintMusic.I emailed Musitek to complain about the poor processing of the PDF file, attaching a copy of the original file. Several days later Musitek replied that the PDF file I had downloaded from the web was "quite degraded and appears to be dithered (shot full of holes)." They smugly dismissed the inconvenience of all the introduced errors by claiming: "it would take someone familiar with SmartScore's editor 5-10 minutes to clean up the page..." In my reply, I admitted that the file was degraded on close examination, but argued: "To the human eye..., all the notes, staff lines, beams and slurs in that file are perfectly readable and unambiguous. In light of that situation, it seems to me that your software should be able to convert it to at least 95% accuracy... Since [SmartScore] Songbook has proved worse than useless to me, I want to return this product for a full refund."Musitek denied my request for a refund on the startling basis that "you were not misled and...the software you have installed continues to function normally." When I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, Musitek resorted to its boilerplate legal argument: "Because of its intangible nature, digital software is normally not returnable..." and refused to address the issue of their software frequently crashing on my computer and hijacking my interface to PrintMusic.My scanning hardware is an HP Officejet 6310 All-in-One machine, which probably makes it difficult for me to get useful results. Musitek recommends recent-model Canon or Epson scanners and cautions against All-in-One scanners. Unfortunately, I don't have the desk space to install a dedicated scanner. Even so, my HP Officejet scanner is TWAIN-compliant, and I've tried the work-around scanner settings recommended by Musitek -- but still got worthless results.Scanning of sheet music from paper or PDF files seems to be the weak link in written music-processing software. I've also gotten disappointing results scanning sheet music with  Neuratron PhotoScore Ultimate 5  Lite, which comes bundled with  Sibelius 6 First - Easy Music Notation Software . Also, when I tried using PhotoScore Lite to scan the same PDF file that SmartScore Songbook butchered, PhotoScore also introduced a mess of errors. ### ⭐ the worst *by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2021* I downloaded the free the demo first and try it. I tried every which way. Uploaded clear PDF files(not scans) . Simply music. Tried drums and bass. Nope! Contacted customer service. They finally just ignored me as it seems their only answer would be "sorry we sell software that doesn't work" Run and Save your money. This is second software of this type I have tired to no avail. A few more companies make similar. Onto the next one to try. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/93414311-smartscore-x-songbook-edition-old-version](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/93414311-smartscore-x-songbook-edition-old-version) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
