SmartScore’s Scanning Interface

Last updated: 07/30/2024

The easiest method of scanning is from inside SmartScore. Once you successfully selected the driver, you can control your scanner from SmartScore’s scanning interface.
 

Your scanner isn’t responding?

If your scanner fails to respond to the SCAN command after installing the most recent driver package from the manufacturer, go to ☰ FILE > Scan music > Choose interface and select Apple’s Image Capture. See also: Scanning from inside and outside SmartScore

The Scan dialog box will immediately open and a low-resolution image should quickly appear in the preview pane. SmartScore’s scanning interface controls your scanner’s settings. By default, Automatic Resolution is selected. This allows SmartScore to choose the optimum resolution for each page. If you wish to set resolution manually, uncheck Resolution and enter your desired setting, e.g. 300 dpi.

Should this dialog box appear: Scanning resolution is too low/too high - Reset / Ignore, it is most likely due to variations in staff line widths which may have confused SmartScore’s auto-resolution algorithm. If so, you would normally choose Reset and manually set the resolution to 300 dpi.
