Warning

This wiki was written several years ago. Since then, the Audiveris Handbook has been created, reproducing and updating most of the original pages of this wiki, which should now be considered obsolete.

Audiveris OMR is an Optical Music Recognition software for the Common Western Music Notation, working on printed music sheets to convert them into a machine readable form.

The Audiveris documentation set includes two essential parts:

• The first part is the handbook.
  Meant for the end users, it focuses on how to:
  • install and run the application
  • understand the software features
  • drive the OMR engine efficiently
  • use the graphical interface to validate and fix the engine results
• The second part is this wiki, which gathers articles intended for the developers:
  • The Git workflow, based on the master and development branches
  • The list of libraries that are direct dependencies of Audiveris, with their license, home page and main features.
  • The high-level description of how a Book is structured.
  • The wiki still contains a chapter about the 6.x prototype, which was developed several years ago. No convincing progress was made since that time, but this may change...
