Perhaps the long-awaited > re-write of Audiveris may change that? I doubt it... As far as I understand Audiveris, it relies on the user to make the corrections, exactly what we try to avoid. Linux users may be interested in my workflow for SharpEye. Since I use SharpEye at most 2 or 3 times per year, I cannot bother with buying it. Besides I do not have a Windows system. And SharpEye looks dead anyway. Fortunately, SharpEye runs fine under Wine. And you can download a 30-day free trial of SharpEye from the web site http://www.visiv.co.uk/ . First I backup my Wine data (important!) and then I install the trial: $ wine installsharpeye2.exe SharpEye only understands TIFF and a special form of BMP. Anything else must be converted: $ convert -density 300 -monochrome -type bilevel -depth 1 score.pdf 'page%d.tiff' This will produce a number of .tiff files, one for each page. Time to run SharpEye. Choose Read > Batch process... Load all the pages at one. The default output is a file AllPages.mro . Then press Process and SharpEye will scan the pages and write AllPages.mro . Choose File > Open Music and select AllPages.mro . Choose File > MusicXML > Save As... to produce the desired xml. That's it. I then restore my Wine data from the backup, removing the SharpEye install. As said, I do not use this often, but it works nice for many scores. -- Johan _______________________________________________ Denemo-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/denemo-devel
