Before — the bar does not sum
The conversion left this 3/4 bar holding four beats. The score check flags it rather than shipping it.
Engraved editions
Public domain scores, re-engraved with StaveWave.
Every page below came out of the pipeline customers use: a public-domain source converted to MusicXML, checked bar by bar, then engraved in the browser into a print-ready edition. Nothing here is a mock-up.
The gallery
Finished pages.
All works shown are in the public domain. The engraving is StaveWave’s, produced by the same renderer that makes your PDF.
Before and after
A bar that failed the check, then passed it.
Recognition is not perfect, so the score check reads every bar against the source and reports what disagrees. This is one flagged bar and the same bar re-engraved after correction.
After — corrected and re-validated
The note length is corrected, the bar sums to three beats, and the edition re-engraves from the fixed MusicXML.
What the check catches
Engraved excerpts from the score check.
Engraved by StaveWave from real conversion output. The works are not identified.
Ties that never land
A tie leaves the bar with no matching note to arrive on — usually a misread pitch on the second note.
Notes on the wrong staff
Left-hand material read without a staff assignment defaults to the top staff until the check moves it back.
A clef that disagrees with its notes
Every note in the bar sits far above the staff for the clef that was read — so the clef itself is the suspect.
How an edition is made
Source page in, print-ready edition out.
Public-domain source
A score whose copyright has expired — the printed page, a scan, or a PDF from a public archive.
Conversion and score check
Recognition produces draft MusicXML; the score check compares it against the source bar by bar and reports what disagrees.
Engraving
The validated MusicXML is engraved with optical spacing, clean beaming, and layout that keeps notation clear of collisions.
Print-ready results
The results page carries the engraved PDF, compressed MusicXML (.mxl), and MIDI for the finished edition.
Copyright note: only works in the public domain are published here. Engraving your own score does not publish it — your results stay on your job page.
