  Music transcription is the process of transcribing music audio into music
notation. It is a field in which the machines still cannot beat human
performance. The main motivation for automatic music transcription is to make
it possible for anyone playing a musical instrument, to be able to generate the
music notes for a piece of music quickly and accurately. It does not matter if
the person is a beginner and simply struggles to find the music score by
searching, or an expert who heard a live jazz improvisation and would like to
reproduce it without losing time doing manual transcription. We propose
Scorpiano -- a system that can automatically generate a music score for simple
monophonic piano melody tracks using digital signal processing. The system
integrates multiple digital audio processing methods: notes onset detection,
tempo estimation, beat detection, pitch detection and finally generation of the
music score. The system has proven to give good results for simple piano
melodies, comparable to commercially available neural network based systems.
