Re: [Tex-music] Scanner Input for PMX
In the sample file I sent around I concentrated on generating the Notes Part. The header information was somewhat arbitrary abd was not generated.

Aside from the 8 on the clef of the Tenor part, and the extra space at the start of each bar (which was clearly intentional) I didn't notice any other notable differences. So Christian, I'm very curious what you are referring to as indications of problems. --Don Simons -Original Message- From: TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Christian Mondrup Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2014 2:14 PM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: Re: [Tex-music] Scanner Input for PMX Dieter wrote: Many thanks to Don, Bob and Jean-Pierre. Now we have plenty of XML test material. I opened the xml file attached to your initial posting with musescore for comparison with the output from your .pmx file and got indications of some problems with your software in its state at that time. That method might turn out a useful additional testing method.

So Christian, I'm very curious what you are referring to as indications of problems. After yet another look at the outputs from the xml and pmx files I actually notice only a minor note flaw in bar 11. And that flaw is in the xml file only: the second soprano note has an extra 1/8 flag - ignored in the pmx output. There are indeed problems in the xml lyrics: lots of missing hyphens and obviously wrong words like 'io-fty', bar 11 soprano. These problems are not (yet) reflected in the pmx output rendering no lyrics at all. Are the wrong words just typos? -- Christian Mondrup WIMA: Werner Icking Music Archive http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:WIMA_files --- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

These problems are not (yet) reflected in the pmx output rendering no lyrics at all. Are the wrong words just typos? You can't expect better. Scanning followed by OCR is seldom perfect even on pure text documents, printed in just one font, with a known alphabet and a dictionary, except maybe when it's a clean original with pt=10 and dpi=600. Music, by comparison, is much easier. Only two shapes of notehead. Once you know where the five parallel lines are, the only decision is whether a note is on a line or between two lines. Etc. As it should be, otherwise sight-reading would be impossible. --- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
