AnthemScore by Lunaverus

AnthemScore by Lunaverus is a desktop application that turns audio recordings into written sheet music. You feed it an MP3 or WAV file, and its AI analyzes the audio to identify notes, beats, percussion hits, and even different instruments. The result is a visual score you can edit, customize, and export. It's designed to handle the tedious part of transcription, letting you focus on refining the output rather than starting from scratch.

The software runs locally on your Windows, Mac, or Linux machine after a one-time purchase—there's no subscription. A free trial lets you test it on the first 30 seconds of any song. Once you have a transcription, a full set of editing tools helps you fix mistakes. You can click to add or remove notes, adjust the time signature for specific measures, change the key, and format the sheet for a specific instrument, including guitar tablature. You can save your work as a PDF for printing, or as MIDI or MusicXML files to use in other music software.

This tool is most useful for musicians who want to learn songs by ear more quickly, teachers creating exercises from recordings, or composers who need to notate ideas from a demo. The batch processing feature in the top-tier Studio edition is a time-saver for anyone who needs to transcribe a large library of recordings, like an archivist or a busy music instructor.
