Can this sheet-music scanner also expand works so they don't contain loops, essentially removing all repeat-signs?

"Repeats" may be the term you're looking for. That would be interesting, however in some pieces it could make the overall document MUCH longer. It would be similar to loop unrolling.

I don't care if the document becomes longer. Finding repeat signs is driving me nuts :)

Yes, that's a Soundslice feature called "Expand repeats," and you can read about it here:

That's available for any music in Soundslice, not just music that was created via our scanning feature.

Why?

One reason is that repeats make it harder to use page-turner pedals.

It can be hard during live performances, because it can incur large jumps in the sheet music which can be annoying to follow. Not a problem if you learned the pieces by heart or have a pageturner, but this is not always feasible or the case.
