Abstract: A method and a system for obtaining a musical score from a musical recording is disclosed. The present invention further provides a method and system for creating an editable music file from a musical recording, such that a user may modify the musical recording and obtain a musical score from the modified musical recording. The method comprises operations of: (1) storing a musical recording as a wave file; (2) generating a pseudo wave file for each segment of interest from the wave file; (3) generating a sequence file for each of the pseudo wave files; (4) generating a list of events from the sequence files; (5) converting the list of events from the sequence file into a MIDI or other notation readable program file; and (6) importing the MIDI or other file into the notation program in order to print the musical score.
