Hi, Janek Thanks for those terrific tips. Once I know enough to have questions that require only two-sentence answers, I'll be sure to contact you.

I would really like to help you, but i'm so busy that i really don't have time :-( I can only give some pointers: - scanning software will probably output MusicXML, so you should take a look at musicxml2ly converting tool.

You may try contacting that person, he may have more experience with MIDI. - for display synchronization and the like, you definitely want to contact Jan Rosseel from Scora (http://www.scora.net/).

My wife, a voice teacher, suffers from macular degeneration. Before
her vision degrades so much that she can no longer read printed
scores, I'd like to cobble together a system that
* scans piano-vocal sheet music
* creates a LilyPond file
* controls a digital piano with LilyPond's midi output
* displays the score in sync on a tablet at arbitrary magnification
* controls tempi and dynamics by gestures and taps (and/or voice
commands)
* (bonus round) 'listens' to the singer and adjusts tempi and
dynamics to match
Judging by the success of Frescobaldi, most of this would seem to be
feasible. And I have five years or so to figure all this out ...
Has anyone on this list ever used Audiveris or OpenOMR?
How about creating non-paged graphical output from LilyPond?
Thanks for reading!

Hello Fred,
I have a friend with macular degeneration, to the degree he literally
holds his music touching his nose. I've created a template for use with
LilyPond and Frescobaldi, which gives 2-3 bars per landscape letter
sized page. I've adjusted things like slur line thickness, made fonts
bold and so forth. You might open the file in Frescobaldi and "Save As a
template". Hope it's useful!
Cheers,
Colin

Scores for the visually impaired
Now that I'm *cough, cough* an expert LilyPond user, I want to explore something really difficult. My wife, a voice teacher, suffers from macular degeneration. Before her vision degrades so much that she can no longer read printed scores, I'd like to cobble together a system that - scans piano-vocal sheet music - creates a LilyPond file - controls a digital piano with LilyPond's midi output - displays the score in sync on a tablet at arbitrary magnification - controls tempi and dynamics by gestures and taps (and/or voice commands) - (bonus round) 'listens' to the singer and adjusts tempi and dynamics to match Judging by the success of Frescobaldi, most of this would seem to be feasible. And I have five years or so to figure all this out ... Has anyone on this list ever used Audiveris or OpenOMR? How about creating non-paged graphical output from LilyPond? Thanks for reading!
