How do you get better sheet music?

Updated on November 8, 2026

The quality of the sheet music depends mostly on what you import and the choices you make before starting. A few habits are often enough.

Which mode gives the best result?

Transcription is reliable for a song that contains only your instrument; each additional instrument reduces accuracy. If the song is played by several instruments, prefer extraction or arrangement. See Transcription or arrangement.

Which source should you import?

  1. Prefer a clean recording without background noise.
  2. Avoid cutting the song in the middle: import a whole song or a complete section.
  3. A recording under 3 seconds is rejected.

Which settings should you check?

At the sheet music settings step, check the tempo, the time signature and the key. You will also find the reading aids there: chord symbols or note names.

Score settings: tempo, time signature and key

Do you need to set the instrument?

Yes, when the app offers it: for example the saxophone transposition or the tuning of a tablature.

What if the sheet music still contains mistakes?

See Mistakes in the sheet music.
