Description
Convert sheet music PDFs and photos into editable MusicXML. StaveWave flags uncertain measures beside the original scan so you can review, edit notes, check rhythm, and listen before export. It uses specialist AI models and recognition engines depending on the input and music type. Start with 100 free credits; no subscription or monthly fees. Conversions are drafts for review.

Could you build this?
No High-accuracy Optical Music Recognition (OMR) converting raw scans into structured MusicXML requires specialized deep learning computer vision architectures that cannot be solved by vibe coding.
What it would actually take: Building a working OMR system requires specialized neural network architectures (like end-to-end sequence-to-sequence transformer models or multi-stage semantic segmentation pipelines) specifically trained to interpret polyphonic staves, overlapping notation, rhythm constraints, and dynamics. The engine must compile detected musical primitives into fully validated, syntactically correct MusicXML trees while running audio-synthesis playback engines for user verification. This demands specialized research expertise in computer vision for symbolic music notation and large proprietary training datasets of sheet music.
