I didn't generate the PDF. I was using someone else's PDF so I could transpose/make parts in different clefs. I used PDFEdit to create TIFFs from the PDF, then imported the TIFFs into SmartScore Lite. If you used actual scans, then I'm even more impressed with the results. > David: have you ever tried scanning the rather idiosyncratic parts > "published" by the VdGS of GB?

No. We just use them directly (we're big Michael East fans, for instance -- see http://dfenton.com/Teares/StMichaelsSampler/ for two examples of such). I doubt they'd scan well, but we've had no reason to scan them (though it would be nice to have the tenor viol parts in the 3-part East in alto clef instead of treble 8). -- David W.
