I agree, PlayScore 2 is doing a good job already. For playback, it reconstructs most of the relevant information and can handle even some complex cases, which is impressive. I’m looking forward to future versions that are able to handle even more situations and are able to recover the complete structural encoding.

I recommend the paid version of PlayScore: it is quite good (I think the best OMR currently available), you get access to MusicXML and it is very affordable.
