I don't scan from scores but from PDFs, and I used both the Smartscore Lite that came with Finale and tried Sharpeye as well, Sharpeye was definitely better, but the UI is about 10 years out of date. Whether that matters or not is up to the end user to determine. It does make it rather difficult to figure out how to use, but partly that's because it has a lot more features that then version of Smartscore I tried (which was neither recent nor the full version). I did find that importing from the PDFs was pretty successful and saved me a lot of time in preparing parts when all I had available was a PDF score. I can't speak to how the two programs compare when attempting to scan printed music. -- David W.
