Can I scan sheet music into BITB?
Does Pg music have a stand-alone work station?

Welcome to the forums.
Do you want to scan the music to convert it to MIDI, or just to store it as a PDF document or similar?
There is no feature in BiaB to allow you to scan sheet music. There are other programs that can perform this but I am not sure of the accuracy.

One such sheet music scanning program is ScanScore It apparently allows you to save as MIDI or MusicXML, etc

Several apps are available. Their accuracy is reported to be iffy at best.

I use three such programs regularly. One only works on music published by major publishers. The other two are less accurate but the accuracy depends more on the quality of the source printout or PDF, and it must be perfectly aligned in the scanner. You will have some correcting to do no matter what.
I always work in Music XML, not MIDI, because it preserves much more like text, chords, and dynamics/tempo etc.
This is a very specific function. As mentioned, BIAB does not do this. I’m glad, actually, since I think BIAB should concentrate on what it does best and leave this small niche to others.

I've written many articles on this over the years but none are up-to-date excepe a few that are product specific. …

What Matt says. With a few exceptions, most apps support MusicXML 3.0 including any scanweare that's any good (the crapware doesn't) Scanware breaks down into three basic types: The first is a kind that imports font data from pdf files. Because of copyright concerns, most music pdfs are actually pictures of pages and these do not have font data in them. Not only do these not work with graphic files but scans are useless. Unless you have a specific use like Matt, walk on by. The next is Black Box scanware, much of it iOS or Android only. Scan it in, export MusicXML 3.0. Some of it is good like Musitek's + Music-to-XML™ while another that's very heavily marketed cannot handle expressions, slurs, hairpins (yet?) so read carefully. I do not like Black Box scanware in spite of all the wonderful claims made by Marketing departments who clearly have never used these apps — see below. The third kind is full featured scanware. What makes it different from Black Box is that after you scan, it opens a window where you can edit your scan before exporting as MusicXML. Those of us who use it really like that feature. There are two heavyweights in this field, Avid's PhotoScore & NotateMe Ultimate and Musitek's SmartScore 64 Pro which I own. There are competitive upgrades and special deals for owners of certain notation apps but, sadly, no discounts for BIAB users. SmartScore 64 Pro Competitive Upgrade

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
