Even if you follow all our best practices, FluteConvert may still produce occasional transcription errors. Automatic flute transcription is a technically complex process, and issues such as wrong notes, missing articulations, or timing inconsistencies can sometimes occur.

Here’s how you can correct them:

1) Instantly edit your sheet music in our in-app editor (Premium Only)

If you’ve subscribed to a plan and transcribed a full track (not just the free 30-second preview), you now have access to our built-in sheet music editor right after your transcription is complete.

With this editor, you can:

- Visually correct wrong notes directly on the digital sheet music.

- Add or remove notes, adjust durations, time signatures, and dynamics.

- Play back your transcription using realistic sounds.

- Print your final sheet or export it as PDF, MIDI, or MusicXML.

- Work interactively on desktop, tablet or smartphone, without installing anything.

This feature is seamlessly integrated into the sheet music view and requires no software download or file export.

⚠️ Please note: This in-app editing tool is only available for full transcriptions done with a paid plan. Free 30-second previews are view-only and cannot be edited inside the app.

2) Try a different version of the piece

If you’re not attached to a specific recording, try using an alternate version of the same flute piece.

To improve accuracy:

✅ Use a clear, solo flute recording

✅ Avoid live or noisy environments

✅ Choose simplified or student-friendly arrangements

💡 Tip: Always use the 30-second free trial to preview the transcription before converting the full piece.

✏ 3) Manually correct the errors in the MIDI file

If you want to keep a specific version, the best method is to manually edit the MIDI file to correct note durations, rhythm alignment, or pitch issues.

Here are some free tools to help with this:

• Aria Maestosa

• Signal

• Amped Studio

• Soundation

• Online Sequencer

Once you’ve edited your MIDI, you can export it to PDF and MusicXML using tools like MuseScore or Flat.io to get a clean sheet music layout.

🎼 4) Provide musical details before transcribing

You can improve accuracy by entering basic musical information before the transcription:

✅ Time signature (e.g., 4/4, 6/8)

✅ BPM (tempo)

This helps FluteConvert structure the rhythm more accurately.
