Using ScanScore in Ensembles: How to Distribute Sheet Music Digitally

Efficient rehearsal work in choirs, school ensembles, and chamber groups depends on clear communication and consistent sheet music. With ScanScore, you can scan, edit, and digitally distribute sheet music – saving time and avoiding common paper-based mistakes.

In this article, you’ll learn how to use ScanScore to digitize, edit, and share music with your ensemble step-by-step.

📥 Import Sheet Music with a Few Clicks

ScanScore offers several importing options:

  • 📄 PDFs (from publishers or scanned)

  • 📷 Photos or image files

  • 🎼 MusicXML from notation software

Once imported, the software automatically detects notes, key signatures, time signatures, lyrics, and chord symbols. If the score contains scanning errors, these can be quickly corrected within ScanScore.

🛠️ Isolate and Edit Individual Parts

Ensembles benefit from the ability to extract individual parts from full scores. This is especially useful for:

  • 🎶 Choirs (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass)

  • 🎻 Instrumental ensembles and quartets

  • 🏫 School groups with changing instrumentations

You can easily export each part or open it in notation software such as MuseScore, Dorico, Finale, or Sibelius.

💡 Webinar Tip:
“Copying and pasting into a notation program saves hours compared to manual transcription.”

🔁 Transpose with One Click

One of ScanScore’s best features: smart transposing. It automatically identifies the key and lets you convert to another with one click. Useful for:

  • 🧑‍🎤 Transposing singers

  • 🎺 Bb/Eb instruments (clarinet, trumpet, alto sax, etc.)

  • 🎼 Adjusting arrangements for school or ensemble flexibility

This feature ensures every player gets the part they need — without having to rewrite music manually.

📤 Share Digitally – No Paper Copies Needed

When your sheet music is ready, you can distribute it easily via:

  • 📧 Email (PDF, MusicXML)

  • ☁️ Cloud storage (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox)

  • 🎼 Export to notation software

This is ideal for remote rehearsals, hybrid ensembles, or when you need to get everyone the correct part in time – even across different locations.
