I vaguely remember using some windows based program when archiving old music. |

The community in question had maps full of paper scores and making them |
| 3 |
digital would have made it much more compact and versatile. However even back |
| 4 |
then I remember manually writing lilypond files. I did use Linux at that time |
| 5 |
but wasn't aware of any OMR tools. |

Eventually I stopped visiting and the project fell out of favor due to the |
| 8 |
immense manual labour. Literally hundreds of sheet music ranging from single |
| 9 |
page meant for the artists up to the combined score for the conductor. |

A quick search led me to audiveris. I have no experience but it might do what |
| 12 |
you want. It has the option to export to MusicXML. I tried to use Rosegarden |
| 13 |
to read a MusicXML which "worked". It did get the notes right, but alternated |
| 14 |
with trebble and bass lines, being a somewhat monophonic end result. |

Hope this helps |
