Ramy,
Probably not one that will do both well. Music scanning software is looking
for staves and musical symbols and will generally make a mess if there is
text surrounding the musical examples.
And of course regular OCR will not know what to do with the musical symbols
and make some garbage of what it sees there.
If you have clean pages of just music then Sharp-Eye or Smartscore should
do well. And use standard OCR like Omnipage, Openbook, or Kurzweil for those
pages with only text.
Overall you may need a sighted person to first help you identify pages with
a mix of music and text, and to help "mask off" areas before scanning with
one or the other.

Subject: [sib-access] a good scanning program for images.
HI all:
I have some books in PDF formats, and I took the excuse from the colledge to
convert them to Braille, now I need to use a good scanning program that can
handle both music and text, is there a better program than sharp eye?
Thanks in advance.
