Hello Jaap and Clyde,

Thanks for your compliments on Composer.

Clyde, I have no ambition to develop sheet music scanning myself. It's a big development task, that a few other developers have already done well. Instead, I intend to add MusicXML support to MidiNotate, which will enable the importing of notation prepared by the top music scanning programs by Musitek and SharpEye. (Finale licenses their music scanning program from Musitek.) I've admittedly let the schedule for MusicXML support slip, as I only occasionally hear requests for it. If you want MusicXML support, such as to import notation prepared by a sheet music scanner, please lobby for it in the Features Request section of the forum. MusicXML also holds the promise for passing notation files between notation programs of different companies. I'm not sure how much that is being done.

Cheers
