Re: Software to scan and transpose
This need to transcribe has been around for a long time and there have been a lot of technical improvements to help in this regard. I've used Finale for almost 20 years and have had a number of crazy situations involving scans and transposing. One observation is that the apps or software for mobile devices are limited by loyalties to one corporation or another. (Apple i-pad hates Finale, for example.)
MuseScore, being free, is a great tool and it is getting more advanced all the time. Unfortunately I'm stuck in my old habits with Finale and have made some really comic (or tragic), mistakes.
My humble suggestion is that if the tune is fairly simple, I'd just enter the notes into the software and use it's transposition function. It will save you a lot of consternation and perplexity in the long run.
