Improved user experience. Bug fixes for occasional authorisation Fixes for file uploads and preview

After a few tests, I finally found a workflow that gives very accurate results and saved me a lot of time. Very usefull tool.

I like the results that Halbestunde produces, but I am sometimes annoyed by the GUI, especially when I try to process many files in a row. Why, after processing a file, do I have to click "Great, let's go" and then wait again? Why doesn't it suggest a file name when saving based on the PDF file name?

Nice and fast support! Really appreciate that

Works well I tested it with an orchestral score containing numerous tuplets, polyrhythms, meter changes, and time and key signature changes. It recognized most notes (approximately 97-99%). HOWEVER, although it recognized some tuplets, it didn’t recognize most of them, so, polyrythms were pretty much gone, as well as some time signature changes, dynamics and some minor indications. Therefore, some editing is neccesary in order to achieve a good result, at least with complex orchestral music. Can’t wait to use it for work and school! Looking forward to further updates, so far it’s good for an early version

With this fair price, this tool comes with everything you need for a fast result. Also the support is fast and friendly, so that’s also a very big plus!

I have not been able to scan a single page of sheet music with it. after uploading my picture, it said it was completed, when I checked it, the original on the left displayed, but the converted on the right was stuck in loading forever. I tried several extreme clean sheet music PDFs and all of them had this issue.

It’s as if the simple page I had uploaded is not able to be converted into a PDF. The picture is of a page in the middle of a voice accompanied by piano. The PDF has yet to load
