Right. The operant phrase for me was 'cut a few bars of music'. Based on the tone of the question, I was guessing that this was relatively casual ... or else we'd probably be talking about using pro publication programs and PostScript. (Not to mention the size of the bitmapped files pasted into MSWord!) In any case, since screen res is about 72 dpi, a few measures on the larger screens most of us use, captured at 200%, gives about 300dpi when the actual file is reduced to about 50% (as it would be printed). It may seem crude (and on a non-PS printer, the beams have slight jaggies), but for average printing with MSWord for classroom use, photocopies, or POD publications, it will actually be okay. I've put a file here done as described above: http://maltedmedia.com/photos/notebit.doc The file, with a *single* 300 dpi bitmap, is 1.4MB. >Both are superior in quality to a garden variety screen capture, not to >mention not requiring all that cropping to get it down to the appropriate >size. Agreed. But it's pretty useful for quick clips and fast work.
