Hi,

No. SharpEye should determine the existing key and time signatures by
interpreting the scanned image.

Generally, SharpEye will accurately determine the value for key and time
signatures. When it does not, one must correct those values. But SharpEye
is not a music notation editing program like Lime. In other words, SharpEye
can only scan and interpret the musical information which it finds whereas
Lime permits you to create your own musical information

Thanks Bill but is there a way of spesifying a time signature and key
signature before scanning the first page? Is the only solution to add a time
signature and key signature after the mess has been made?
All the best,
Sandra.
