LOTS of mistakes in the converted scores, even scores made with… Musescore. Great concept, great idea, but it sill does'nt work very well. I guess in a few years that's gonna be a great tool.

I’ve been trying this for hours now - says its converted, the converted doc stays in LOADING and its stuck there
Really makes my job easier!
Very nice support! Responded quickly and also accepted ideas for the future.
I was looking for software that could do this for me and finally found it!
I couldn't access the software at first, I wrote to support and they helped me
I had a few minor scanning errors, but most of it was correct. I contacted support and they were able to help me.
Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for!

I tried scanning converting several PDF scores to XML and even when the scores were directly creating by music scoring programs, I got loads of silly errors. Other programs seem to work MUCH better and I regret my purchase.
The user interface is so minimal that you have no control, eg where the converted file is saved, you can't zoom in on a PC, plus you also have to install MuseHub before you can do anything. Not for me and certainly not capable of doing even simple tasks.
