About StaveWave

Convert scans to MusicXML. Review with evidence. Export with receipts.

StaveWave reads sheet music from PDFs and photos, drafts editable MusicXML, then walks you through a bar-by-bar review where every uncertain measure is spotted on the exact ink of your original page. The result is a MusicXML file and a complete audit log of what was found and fixed.

Evidence-first design

Uncertainty stays visible

Confidence scores and warnings are guides, not guarantees. Bars the recognizers weren’t sure about are flagged on your page — never silently smoothed over.

The score check

Review grouped by cause

Thousands of findings arrive as a handful of cards: “41 bars overfull,” “12 tie mismatches,” each with verified one-tap fixes. Play any bar to hear rhythm errors.

Audit log

Every export carries receipts

What the engines read, what validation caught, what was fixed and by whom — attached to the job, exported with the score.
