  Description     : Optical Music Recognition module

Audiveris is an Optical Music Recognition (OMR) module. Starting from 
the image of a music sheet, it provides high-level logical music 
information compliant with the MusicXML definition. Other tools such as 
a Midi Sequencer, or a Composition Editor can then read and update this 
standard data.

There are already commercial tools in this area but Audiveris is, to our 
knowledge, the first Java open-source OMR tool. It is a cross-platform 
tool, written entirely in Java, and tested on Windows, Solaris, Linux 
and Mac OS.

Audiveris works with printed music sheets only, the task of recognizing 
hand-written scores being significantly harder.
