I observe that music OCR space and the only really good solution so far is soundslice. You scan and review some edge cases and get really good results. Paid service by a small company, very worthy to be supported!
I just signed up a trial, and uploaded a messy Real Book scan. It did very well! It missed the coda markings, but then again the directive in the Real Book was nonstandard. I guess that's a case where a multimodal model might have been able to read the text ("after solos, D.C. al coda") and do something smarter.
