pdf to .ly?
Hello, Does anybody here know of software that could convert a .pdf into .ly? Mayber .pdf to .xml first, then to .ly? Or .pdf into .svg, or some sort of image file? I got some music from the IMSLP site, it needs to be rotated and cleaned up a bit. Thanks for any help, Gerard ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: pdf to .ly?
There are a few programs that try to convert scanned scores to something useful (e.g. MusicXML). But generally this requires much manual work after the conversion. IIUC and you just want to improve the printed output you definitely should go for some image processing software. If all pages have the same parameters you may use some command line tool. Maybe Scan Tailor is worth a look. HTH Urs Am 18.01.2012 13:12, schrieb Gerard McConnell: Hello, Does anybody here know of software that could convert a .pdf into .ly?

Version 2.68 can save MusicXML and NIFF. Version 1.27 only saves NIFF. Neither version is freeware though. Both have a 30 day limit. The good thing is that both work in Wine. > niff2ly generates quite old Lilypond, so you will want to run > convert-ly over its output, and it has its restrictions when voicing > becomes complicated. > > Download niff and niff2ly from http://www.cs.vu.nl/~rutger/music.html It's good to see this effort, as Visiv can discontinue MusicXML support at will. But please use decent release engineering. *.old, *.orig and *.a don't belong to the source release. Maybe you could host the source it on Gitorious or Github? Perhaps NIFF belongs there too (fully unpacked and converted to UNIX newlines). -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Probably best is to integrate NIFF into NIFF2LY since no other tools (seem to) exist that uses it. -- Johan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
