Task: Editing Notes After OMR Manipulation

For this week, I decided to transcribe Arvo Pärt's composition Spiegel im Spiegel using MuseScore, the finished file can be found below or here.

Here are a few changes I made to the file, as the program was not transcribing the notes correctly at first.

  1. Changed the arrangement because, at the beginning, the OMR engine counted everything as Voice.
  2. Changed the tempo from 120 to the original 84.
  3. Changed the time signature from 3/4 to 6/4.
  4. The engine didn't recognize the octaves, so I added an ottava 8va alta.
  5. Also, I added the name of the piece and the artist.
