Even when following best practices, TrumpetConvert may occasionally produce minor transcription errors. Automatic transcription is a technically challenging process, and issues like incorrect notes, missing articulations, or timing inaccuracies can occur.

Here are the best ways to address and correct these errors:

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 version, try using another take or a different performance of the same piece.

For better accuracy:

✅ Use a recording with clear, solo trumpet

✅ Avoid live recordings or those with ambient noise

✅ Choose simplified arrangements when possible

💡 Tip: Always use the 30-second free trial to preview the transcription quality before uploading the entire piece.

✏ 3) Manually correct the remaining errors in the MIDI file

If you want to keep a specific version, the best approach is to edit the MIDI file manually. You can fine-tune note pitch, rhythm, duration, and articulations.

Here are a few free tools to help:

• Aria Maestosa

• Signal

• Amped Studio

• Soundation

• Online Sequencer

Once corrected, you can export your improved MIDI to PDF or MusicXML using tools like MuseScore or Flat.io to get a clean sheet music result.

🎼 4) Transcribe the piece again with musical context

To improve rhythmic and structural accuracy, you can input musical details before launching the transcription:

✅ Time signature (e.g., 4/4, 3/4, 6/8)

✅ BPM (tempo)

This helps TrumpetConvert better organize the sheet music output.
