I have tools that extract pitch from speech (even if it is sung).  I use this
to create synthetic voices that "match" a person's spoken voice.  I can then
generate sheet music from this data.

But, the background music confused them.  So, the effort was a bust.

A quick search for exiting (print) sheet music was also a bust.
