Thanks for adding to PMXs utility! I, and Im sure others, would gladly try out your MusicXML => PMX translator if you would make it available. Im sure we can find other ways to get some MusixXML files besides scanning with the somewhat costly software you mentioned. If you choose to upload, the method is up to you Im sure Bob Tennent would be willing to set up a link from the icking archive, or as suggested earlier you could perhaps use github (although I personally detest that site due to its overly complicated user interface). --Don Simons From: TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Dieter Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2014 5:39 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: [Tex-music] Scanner Input for PMX Dear PMX users, I want to rapidly communicate on my recent experiences with Scanner input into PMX. In my choir we often have the task of modifying existing notes either in parts of the music or the text. And I do not want any handwritten corrections, but something which looks nice. This, of course, I produce with PMX. Manually turning existing note sheets into PMX code is straightforward and quite fast. But with a Scanner it would be much faster. So I made some experimentation with the Scanner Software Smart Eye from VISIV /UK. Smart Eye generates after scanning (among other options) output in terms of MusicXML, which has been developed by Recordare ( <http://www.musicxml.com> www.musicxml.com). In the last two weeks I have been working on a prototype which reads in MusicXML and spits out the notes part for PMX. I include as example a christmas carol for SATB. After scanning there remained some inaccuracies, which could easily resoved with the notes editor of SharpEye. The final MusicXML code has not been touched, and everything after and including the line "% Bar 1" has been generated automatically. Of course, my little prototype does not (yet) completely implement MusicXML. Another drawback for wider use of my development might be, that I employed a somewhat exotic language: OBERON from Niklaus Wirth of the ETHZ Zürich. You are most welcome to further discuss this topic. Regards, Dieter -- ____________________________________ Dr. Dieter Glötzel Im Rosengarten 27 64367 Mühltal Tel.: 06151 / 360 82 72
