Hi all,
I have quite a few paper music books which did not come with accompanying CD's, but have plenty of musical examples. The most recent is a book by Vincent Persichetti "Twentieth Century Harmony" recommended by my current music teacher. It has lots of examples, and I'd like to hear them without wasting time on 'data input'.
I was wondering, if I was able to get a picture of the music on the staff into into a .jpg, .pdf, or bitmap format, what program(s) would most reliably allow me to convert them into MIDI format so I could hear the examples ?

Audiveris is an open source (free) music OCR software. It takes PDF files as input and generates MusicXML files as output. I don't think that BiaB currently supports MusicXML imports (I could be wrong), but you can probably find another open source software that can read and translate MusicXML to MIDI so you can listen to it.

That really sounds neat - I'm going to give it a try soon and report the results back. Has anyone else given it a try ?

He is a licensed user of BIAB (ver 2012 I think) He plays bass and enjoys many genres of music, but jazz fusion is probably his favorite (at least that's usually what's playing in his car when we ride together) He's a smart and insightful guy, and I'm glad to see him here. I hope he starts posting regularly
