If you're scanning music that was engraved by computer, you'll likely get quite good results. If you have a PDF, even better -- I've had really great results importing PDFs downloaded from IMSLP using the SmartScore Lite that came with Finale 2003 (so, very outdated). Yes, it makes many layout and accidental mistakes, but not enough that it's worth it to re-enter the music. I would expect, though, that the music that really needs to be imported is going to be old editions that are just not going to scan well at all. I wouldn't even bother with anything other than a source that was computer engraved. -- David W.
