Welcome to the Music MoneySaving board

A question about : Welcome to the Music MoneySaving board

Hi welcome to this new board,

The idea's simple, it's to discuss music bargains, where to buy CDs, Albums, music DVDs, mp3 players, stereos, music systems, grab free tracks, buying instruments, cheap lessons, music grants and more.

Part of it is on the back of popularity of the tunechecker mp3 & CD comparison tool, but we hope the discussion will be much wider than that.

One important note though - discussion of methods of illegal filesharing or downloading is not permitted on this board. If you see it please report it to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com

• I save money on a website called https://www.uktop40.com/ - the website is basically all the latest music and you can download it right to your ITunes. I've been signed up on the site a while now and I've been given money off purchases from websites like Amazon and Play.com. It's really cool
• Rose how do you get money with this chart?Can you share some tips.
• I am a member of a handbell team and we have a great deal of handwritten music, some over 30 years old.
  I would like to copy the music into a software package to make it easier to read and alter. I don't need it to "play-back", just to typeset the music. I need base and treble clef and the ability to have up to 10 notes in a chord.
  Can anyone recommend such a package, please?
• Rather than adding a new topic to the "welcome" thread, you might get a better response starting a new one.
  To try to answer the query, I suspect you will struggle to find a program that can read handwritten scores. Have you looked at Audiveris https://audiveris.kenai.com/ ? It's intended for printed scores, but if your copyist was good, it might be able to read them, possibly after training the neural network.
  Alternatively, have you considered getting a keyboard player to play them on a MIDI keyboard and capturing the results? I've tidied up several big band charts that way.
  p.s. The commercial program Photoscore Ultimate (Ј199) claims to read handwritten scores - I've not tried it. https://www.neuratron.com/photoscore.htm
• Is anyone going to Record Store Day on 21st April? and know any way going getting cheap tickets?
