Alan Ruttenberg at the MIT Media Lab just showed me a demonstration of
his optical score reading stuff.  His system finds beams, note heads,
barlines, staff lines, accidentals, clefs, etc.  He's still working on
it and has yet to implement the midi transcription.  Anyway, you
should talk to him about it.
