Now come on! Yes, you are probably right that it doesn't handle more than 16 staves. But that is a limitation, not a quality mark for scanning. I used it to prepare parts for a Haydn String Trio from a score. The amount of extra work needed was far less than having to reenter everything. That makes it useful for the first time, and I would say this qualifies to be called "much better" - much better indeed! No it probably won't do as well as advertised. We all know that. But it is useful now (something which I don't think can be said about MicNotator).
