Could you build this?
Partial The UI, note-letter overlay, editing, and printing are vibe-codeable, but reading arbitrary PDF or photographed sheet music requires optical music recognition that is accurate across clefs and notation styles.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine a PDF/image pipeline with an existing OMR engine (such as Audiveris or a neural OMR model) that detects staves, clefs, and pitches, then maps pitch to letter names with accidentals. The hard part is recognition accuracy on messy photos and varied engraving, which takes OMR research experience, labeled sheet-music test data, and substantial evaluation. Running it on-device adds model optimization work for iOS.
