Otherwise - if somebody is able to just play with their hands the keys - following the synthesia pattern, and record it to midi - then at least the midi notes can be converted to staff form. So from a transcribing or exact copying of every note point-of-view - the note information contained in the graphics is certainly all there. Synthesia at least allows people to see what notes are played - which is at least easier than using our ears (audio only, with no graphical information at all) to extract all the notes.
The rest will be down to algorithms translating/mapping those notes to a music score format as best as it can. If the source is synthesia from a video - then computer video processing methods involving detecting which graphical keys are active - the time each one starts being active - and duration, and when each one becomes de-activated again. Anthemscore can't save any other formats that MuseScore can read.Ĭonsidering that midi is just a protocol and not really a sheet music format, I guess it loses information about what goes in left and right hand and such. It is not in the same bars (everything is shifted without a pickup measure), notes are mixed between the treble and bass clef staves with 100s of ledger lines, and it doesn't sound the same when played back. In Musescore it looks nothing like the preview in AnthemScore. It looks great in the preview.īut the problem is when I export it to a midi and try to open the midi in MuseScore to clean up the mistakes it made. (for example adding a 1/4 note followed by a 2/4 break instead of just holding a 3/4 note and such, which is easy to clean up). It misses a few notes here and there, and sometimes misjudges the duration of the notes. And it gets the rhythm right where the notes sync up where they should be in the bar (and it doesn't throw in a bunch of tiny notes everywhere like other converters do). It uses the spectrogram approach and needs an audio file, so I used this website to just rip the audio from the youtube video: https:/ / loader.to/ en81/ youtube-wav-converter.htmlĪnthemscore does a remarkably good job, getting both the key signature and time signature right, with a sensible pick-up measure, and with the notes mostly being on the correct staff.
#Anthemscore importing to musescore software
I am however having some good progress with some software called AnthemScore. And I didn't find any other easy alternatives that I liked. So, has anyone found a simple solution to this which they use regularly with success? I'd be very grateful!Īs you can see in the description, there is no sheet music available, and if you search on musescore it is not there either. There are forum threads around the web with old links to services that did the trick by supplying just a youtube link, however those services are now gone. This seems to be a much more promising approach giving a cleaner and workable output, however the tools I have found are in Russian, not pre-compiled, and I am not that tech savvy, let alone into linux. The other approach seems to be a tool or script that reads the visible falling blocks or highlighted piano keys in the video itself, placing notes according to the position of the falling synthesia blocks. It works somewhat, can be "played" in a mini player and "sound ok", however the midi output is visually very cluttered and unusable as sheet music as it can't tell harmonics and percussion apart from the base note, so the effort to clean it up is not worth it compared to manually entering the notes. One approach is to use some overly advanced audio editing software which reads the audio as a frequency spectrogram, and tries to replicate the audio the best it can by placing the frequencies' corresponding notes into a midi. From what I have found, there seems to be 2 different approaches that people use, but none of these are straight forward: But I wonder if anyone has been successful with a more automated way to do it. "I'm trying to learn, not mimic!"įrustrated about that I have on a few occasions entered all the notes into musescore manually. Many people like synthesia and applaud the uploader, however I prefer sheet music. When googling around for sheet music for my skill level, I very often find versions of songs or pieces that I like, but are presented as Synthesia tutorial videos where the uploader does not have the sheet music available.
