Researchers have developed Transcoda, a novel system for Optical Music Recognition (OMR) that can transcribe sheet music into a textual format. The system addresses the scarcity of annotated datasets by employing an advanced synthetic data generation pipeline and a grammar-based decoding approach. Transcoda, with its compact 59M-parameter model, achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming larger models and significantly reducing error rates on historical music scans. AI
