Hello Gents,
I'm new and hoping you all could help shed some light on the process of App development and whether or not my idea is actually possible. So...
The concept is to create an app that can take a picture of a piece (or line) of sheet music and then transfer it into an app that can display it, play it back, and allow for certain amounts of manipulation.
It's along the same lines as other sheet music scanning software around today, but it would be a mobile version able to be used as a reference and educational resource. I have an open source version of the sheet music reading software right now.
My main question is...
1) Is it possible to integrate computer based open source software with the app development process?
2) Or would you have to completely rewrite and design the program from scratch to be used in an Android App?
3) Any suggestions on where to begin?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Phil
