Hi,

 There are a handful of programs out there that do just this. However, this is
not an 'exact' science and you _will_ need to do some followup manual editing to
get it correct. Especially if you have a lot of different types of 'visual'
markings such as dynamics and tempo changes.

Finale, a popular music notation program, comes with Smartscore Lite which is a
bit limited. Another notation program, Sibelius comes with a program called
Photoscore Lite. These programs allow just what you are speaking of. Finale and
Sibelius don't come cheap however.

Smartscore and MIDIscan are two of the 'stand-alone programs that are available
for either using a scanner to scan in score material or they can accept a score
that is already in some of the .TIFF, PICT, WMF, etc. type files. They can then
'create' the MIDI files...
