This time round I discovered satb.ly. I had a quick look at its implementation and I'm very glad I don't have to maintain it, but it let me uplift a score for my choir from a blurry scan of a 1921 publication into something that we should be able to read comfortably, with only a few points where I had to manually shift things around. And I wasn't even looking for it, but it produced quite decent first-pass MIDI output with no effort at all, which I could use for a quick aural check.
