Sibelius also has a scanning cappacity, which looks very impressive.
Sibelius is currently Acorn only, but they're recoding it to run on other
boxes, I hope it doesn't turn out too slow.  Anyway the URL is (I think)

http://www.sibelius-software.com/

If that doesn't work, you can find it from numerous links pages, ie BBW,
Harogate band, ADIOS, mine....

I don't think there'll be any copyright issues with music that old, though
with an old style of typography scanning will probably be less accurate.

Out of interest, do you remember Nigels rule on signatures?  Though mine's
