This paper presents the concept of optical music recognition (OMR), called "COMSCAN" which takes an electronically printed sheet of musical notes and processes it by using the four basic steps usually used by almost all OMR systems. The COMSCAN OMR system presented in this paper is fully based on our three proposed algorithms. First algorithm is for stave line detection which is a new form of horizontal projection. Second algorithm called "averaging" is for stave line removal which is done immediately after the detection. The third algorithm is used for musical notes' symbol identification/recognition step. It is an enhanced form of template matching technique. After a detailed description of the working of COMSCAN and the proposed algorithms, results are reported to analyze the efficiency and accuracy of proposed system. Finally, the comparison is done with the system that uses an algorithm of adding more stave lines instead of removing them.
