If it helps, here are some example PDF files. I believe this discussion began from them. Gotlandstoner, a collection of about 500 traditional fiddle tunes from Gotland, Sweden. https://github.com/erikronstrom/gotlandstoner/releases/download/v1.0/214-416.pdf (9.49 MB) https://github.com/erikronstrom/gotlandstoner/releases/download/v1.0/417-727.pdf (13.01 MB) If the files from those links have sizes smaller than they are noted here, that means they have been reproduced with a more-optimized process since this discussion started.
