The wind chill factor here is supposed to be as low as -30 deg, which is pretty extreme for the DC area. There are bound to be a lot of downed trees. Is it wierd that I find this exciting?
I am glad you tested this, I expected it might have a few limitations.Immediately after I read your post I downloaded that app and just tried it out.
It reads printed music fairly well, but it gets a lot of false hits if there are accidentals on the music sheet, and it also tends to read the staff lines as some sort of chords.
For handwritten music script, it's a bit less effective as you might expect, but it still impressed me that it works as well as it does.
I had to do a fair bit of editing, and it doesn't understand ties or slides or things like that, and I don't see a way to make it do a swing rythm, but it's still a really cool app despite all the limitations.

Imagine making cuts using razorblades today. :lol:
When you consider that sheet music is a sort of graph with the x-axis being time and the y-axis being pitch, and lines to help fix a reference, it doesn't surprise me that 1980s computers could do it, provided you set up the initial conditions just right.
The real challenge is reading accidentals and other wierd markings.
You mean like this, maybe?
I have thought of this question before: how will archeologists of the 2X century find and read digital data of these dozens of years?
