Tips for Best Conversion Accuracy
- High Resolution: Use 300 DPI or higher scans to ensure small musical symbols and note heads are crisp.
- Straight Alignment: Keep staves horizontally level. Avoid curved book bindings or skewed page captures.
- Clean Contrast: Ensure dark black staves on clean white backgrounds without heavy shadows or handwritten pencil marks.
