Other than reading it and retyping, no. It's like trying to make eggs from omelets. Not to say it won't ever be possible. Think OCR. -- D'Arcy J.M.

Other than reading it and retyping, no. It's like trying to make eggs from omelets. Not to say it won't ever be possible. Think OCR. In theory that's already possible. There are programs that translate scanned scores to a music format (e.g. Finale or Sibelius). Some of these programs can then export to musicXML which can then be converted to .ly. But that's quite cumbersome - and you're not very likely to get useable results. So most of the time retyping will be faster and better.

Other than reading it and retyping, no. It's like trying to make eggs from omelets. Not to say it won't ever be possible. Think OCR. Actually I do this quite regularly. My workflow is rather cumbersome and could be improved, but it works for me. 1. Create image files from pdf. 2. Use SharpEye to do OCR 3. Correct OCR in SharpEye 4. Export to MusicXML 5. Export MusicXML to Noteworthy 6. Recorrrect and add tweaks. 7. Export Noteworthy and translate to .ly 8. Create PDF in LilyPond It sounds long-winded but I bet I could beat a manual retyper for any reasonable score. -- Phil Holmes ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
