I think, Martin, you might find it difficult to find software which can
follow any score at random, choosing the proper parts out page after
page, to combine into a different document. In fact, I think that most
people in the world couldn't successfully do this, because the people
who typeset scores aren't doing anything to make it easier for a
machine to extract and recombine parts.
You describe the problem well:
"a 165 page full score with
up to 30 independent parts/lines to cut and paste into a short score
of
just four principal lines would seem to take a long time to achieve
â"
Between different movements and different textures, combined with the
publisher's desire to reduce useless all-rest lines and format the
result meaningfully to a conductor or student/studier and the
possibilities of ossiae, editorial marks, etc, within a single score,
and the software creator's desire to have a program which isn't limited
to converting only one publisher's output (or, for that matter, one
single score!) it is very difficult to create a
one-program-does-all-the-thinking approach.
By offloading the selection of which lines to be kept and decoding
which parts are in each system, and the other things you describe, a
program which has a chance of succeeding with many publisher's output
and many different score layouts, editorial additions and insertions
and alternates, fonts and system markings is possible.
It might be that an AI-controlled program trained to understand these
things as we do will become available in another decade or three, but
it is hard to say that it would be more effective than a monkey with a
razer blade and a pot of glue. And it probably won't get the job done
in time for your project.
What you need is to infuse a graduate student or a young teen with the
desire to prove how great [1]partifi.org is, and to snooker them into
proving it with your score.

Dear David and Bruno,
Many thanks for this.
I've looked at Partifi now: it seems mostly to have been designed
to
produce individual parts from a full score although there does
seem to
be the facility to combine some. But the need to have to label
every
line and specify a part on every single page might make the whole
thing
a bit labourious for what I wish to do. eg a 165 page full score
with
up to 30 independent parts/lines to cut and paste into a short
score of
just four principal lines would seem to take a long time to
achieve -
unless I've missed some easier facility within Partifi.
But many thanks
Martyn

I'd be grateful for advice on the best (free) software
for
creating a
new short score from an existing pdf full score.
What I
mean is
being
able to copy two or three principal lines and the bass
onto
a new
pdf page of, say, a 30 part mass which already
exists as
a pdf
.
I presume there's some where one can scroll over a line,
copy it
and
paste onto a new pdf and so, by digitally cutting and
pasting,
create a
new short score more useful to a theorbo player who
finds
dealing
with
page turns every few bars not really practicable (unlike
keyboard
where
the right hand can turn).
