You sound like a mathematician. They use "provable" interchangeably with "trivial". > It may simply be that the OS community do not generally have these > skills. There are a number of commercial violinists. Does that mean that playing the violin can't be that hard? The problem I see here is that an OCR task offers very little if any synergies with LilyPond work. Another is that "a perfect representation" is usually only available when the music _has_ already been entered into a computer notation program. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

This is a known problem, and the OCR part is very, very difficult. It also has nothing to do with lilypond. There are a number of commercial products that, given a perfect representation of a score, convert it to perfect musicXML - so it can't be that hard. It may simply be that the OS community do not generally have these skills. -- Phil Holmes ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
