PhotoScore & NotateMe Ultimate 2020
PhotoScore & NotateMe Ultimate 2020 is music notation software that scans printed sheet music and PDFs, converting them into editable digital scores. It also lets users handwrite music notation using a stylus or mouse on a tablet or laptop, automatically converting handwriting into proper musical notation. The software is used by musicians, students, composers, and arrangers who need to digitise paper scores or quickly notate musical ideas without learning complex music notation interfaces. It integrates with Sibelius and other notation tools, allowing users to transpose, playback and edit scanned music files.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionPhotoScore & NotateMe Ultimate 2020 is a 64-bit Cocoa application that was rewritten for macOS Catalina compatibility, but there is no clear indication from available sources that a native Apple Silicon (arm64) version exists. The app appears to run under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs. Since Neuratron (now owned by Avid) does not appear to have released a newer major version with explicit native Apple Silicon support, check the Avid website or contact Avid support directly to confirm whether an updated native build is available or planned. If you depend on this software and performance under Rosetta is problematic, consider exploring alternatives such as Finale or Dorico, both of which have native Apple Silicon builds and offer comparable music scanning and notation features, though they are paid commercial products.
