Converter notes
From source to editable tab
These notes are here for setup context. The main workflow starts above in the converter, then continues in the editor.
- Works with public YouTube videos, Shorts, and piano tutorials.
- Declares the source as piano so the AI listens for piano, not guitar.
- Choose sheet music, guitar tab, or ukulele tab before converting.
Steps
- 01Paste a public YouTube link to a piano video.
- 02Choose Piano or keys as the source and pick sheet music or tab as the output.
- 03Run AI transcription and open the result in the editor.
- 04Check the draft with playback against the video, fix durations, then save or export.
Source quality
- Videos with clean solo piano audio convert better than performances with talking or backing tracks.
- Shorter sections are easier to verify than a full-length piece in one pass.
- Choose the output - sheet music or tab - before you convert.
- Only public links are supported; private or protected videos cannot be fetched.
- Note lengths under pedal sustain need review in the editor.
- AI output is a first draft for cleanup, not a finished score.
