Hilarious 😆 Nearly impossible to line up the music. Very distorted view. I usually had to turn my phone upside down to get a good view but then it wouldn't recognize the picture. I finally got it to recognize one image by taking it in the distorted mode which was included the picture being at right angles to how I was holding it. And playback? ! Could hardly recognize the piece. Just a simple hymn from a clean copy. Poor advertisement for Smartscore.

Camera view is all warped but if you ignore the preview and just take it, it looks fine. Didn't sound like the piece at all when played back though. It was a wind + piano accompaniment score. I tried removing wind part in photo editor and importing that but the picture couldn't be recognised by the programme. Pity.
