Finale includes a "lite" version of "Smartscore" music scanning
program. "Print Music", sort of a light Finale, also has the scanning
feature and is less expensive. Those will put only your notes - not
dynamic or other markings - into the music program, and once they are
there you can transpose them into any clef etc that you wish.
Accuracy is not 100%, and some of the possible scanning errors can be
a real pain to sort out. Your best bet would be to check with Kalmus
or the source from which you purchased your cd's and see if they can
provide you with the files you need, as you have already paid for
them. Another look around your made-over LR or wherever you put stuff
while you were working, or a repurchase of the cd's you have found
you needed the most, might be more economical and/or less frustrating
than some of these options. Good hunting
