Saeed.

That fact is true for every Music OCR package I've tried. The better the 
score, the better the recognition.

Hand-written scores are hopeless.

Many times it's better to just listen to a recording and do the entry 
yourself.

hi all.
to use PDF to music, as i have tried with trial versione, there shoulg
be a sheet music that has been scanned in high quality. so, it can't
recognise well the most pdf files which are found on the internet.
anyway, if you don't believe this, please let me know.
Regards,
Saeed
