Concernant Audio Score Ultimate (merci pour l'info), je demande à voir. Quelqu'un l'a-t-il testé, ce Saint Graal ?
Le texte de présentation contient des phrases un peu suspectes :
Create scores by hand—no expertise needed (pas besoin d'expertise):
AudioScore Ultimate can “serve” you a set of notes, which you can quickly split, join, resize, and adjust pitch, purely on a performance level—no worrying about rests and technicalities such as the key signature, accidentals, augmentation dots, beaming, ties, etc.
Il dit qu'on ne doit pas se soucier des silences ni de "paramètres techniques" (!) comme l'armure, les altérations accidentelles, les notes pointées, les ligatures, les liaisons de prolongation, etc...
J'ai peur que le résultat ne soit pas fiable d'une part (ou destiné à des musiques très simples, et des musiciens vite satisfaits), et d'autre part que le temps mis pour effectuer des réparations de divers ordres soit supérieur à celui d'un encodage classique.
Pas de vidéo de démonstration (Melodyne en a, qui sont très instructives). Une version démo est disponible, avis au amateurs...
Le meilleur moyen serait de tester le résultat en le comparant avec une partition qui existe en version imprimée.

"This product just does not work"
March 10, 2010 | By pallincoln
Version: AudioScore Ultimate 6.5
Pros
I would be delighted to hear if anyone gets any sense from this programme. Sibelius themselves suggest it doesn't do what the advert claims.
Cons
I can find nothing good to say about this product.

"Absolutely useless!"
February 8, 2010 | By SatoriShakti
Version: AudioScore Ultimate 6.5
Pros
Hears the notes properly.
Cons
Cannot interpret durations or meter. Is unable to interpret even the simplest of single-note musical lines.
Summary
I'm a professional composer and performer. I first came across this product on the Sibeilus.com site and thought to myself, "16 instruments / notes playing at a time into multiple staves, with up to 4 voices per staff? -- Impossible!" Well, my expectations were far exceeded when I fed the program a very rudimentary piano sonata score in MP3 format. It wasn't even close. The opening line is triplets on quarter notes followed by solid 8ths in a 4/4 meter. What was interpreted was a mesh of tied half notes and broken 16ths / 8ths. I don't know how Neuratron convinced Sibelius to carry this product, but I can't imagine it will be on the market for long, especially with a price tag of $250. Don't waste your time. This is a nice idea, but the truth of the matter is --- there's no shortcut to transcribing scores (yet).
