Have you ever wished your notation program could do a better job of interpreting your MIDI input?
Have you spent hours tweaking your scores to reflect what you really intended?
Did you know there's a much faster, more accurate, and better way to transcribe your music?
Introducing ScoreCleaner by DoReMir.
ScoreCleaner is an amazing software tool that accurately interprets and transcribes your performances into beautifully precise scores while you play! Even if you play badly , ScoreCleaner will dictate your score with surprising accuracy.
Easy
With ScoreCleaner, you don’t need to preset the time signature or tempo, or play to a click track.
VIDEO
ScoreCleaner is built on academic research in music cognition, which seeks to explain how humans understand music on a basic level. From that research we’ve designed software that understands musical phrasing. That’s why ScoreCleaner, among many other things, can analyze which time signature and key you’re playing without your having to tell it in advance.
Separate Voices
When you play multiple voices, ScoreCleaner notates each voice individually.
VIDEO
Because the software understands musical phrases, it can analyze and notate separately what is the lead voice, second voice and bass line even when you play them simultaneously. On top of that you can add an unlimited number of voices as you arrange your piece.
Edit
With ScoreCleaner it's easy to move things around. Overdub and edit as you go.
VIDEO
In ScoreCleaner you can easily change the time signature, key, tempo, note values, etc. Using the simple icon-based menu, or with drag and drop, you can also change where you want your upbeat to be, switch to triplet subdivision, or decide on the placement of your first bar. Unhappy with a phrase in the middle of a song? Replay and overdub either the entire phrase or beat by beat, in the tempo of your choice.
Musical
Swing timing, compound time signatures, rubato – ScoreCleaner understands your scoring style.
VIDEO
ScoreCleaner wants you to be your musical, natural self. The more organic your playing, the easier it is for the software to interpret and notate your music. Go ahead, do tempo changes, rubato or swing. ScoreCleaner understands and notates it the way you play it.

“It’s fair to say that, right now, ScoreCleaner is the most sophisticated MIDI transcription software out there.“
“For typical two-hand keyboard textures, I know of nothing than can touch it, and that includes the big-money notation applications.“
“I can see ScoreCleaner being of particular use to music educators, to arrangers working in the studio, and to owners of Finale and Sibelius who need a better ‘front end’ for keyboard transcription. In general, people who need to transcribe complex pieces fast will be able to do in five minutes with ScoreCleaner what could take an hour with a conventional notation package.”
“Ultimately though, ScoreCleaner is already a powerful transcription and scoring tool. It shows great promise for the future and is seemingly backed by a passionate and dedicated development team. The technology that lies behind it, recognising and representing the infinite complexity of musical structures and patterns, must be mind-bogglingly complex — and yet the application isn’t the slightest bit intimidating, and positively invites prolonged use. Bravo!”
