 When I needed something similar, I downloaded a copy of the Bach 
Musicological font from the web (I actually downloaded from a different 
site, as I have had this for some years) 
. With GIMP, I'd use this with 
the text tool, set to display the characters to the size you need.

Rosegarden should be able to give you this exact image as pdf, I think.

[Gimp-user] sharpening a black and white graphic

[Curt Tresenriter]

Thanks for the reply Pete.

I did find an image but not both bass and treble clefts with the musical
staves which is what I need.

I've uploaded andimage to imagebin

http://imagebin.org/42844

This is similar to the image I'm trying to work on. The actual image is
proprietary so making it over from scratch is not my first choice.

>From my upload you can see that the image has a number of jagged edges - I
need to smooth them out.

I may try one of the vector graphics programs as you mentin but altering the
image I have seems to be the easiest thing to do at this point.

go here http://openclipart.org/
then type in the search box "clef"
save the ones you want then set the size you need in inkscape then
export them from there as png files and open in gimp.

hope this helps. openclipart is very useful for such things as this.

I don't know what your image looks like, but if you need a high resolution 
image, sometimes it's easiest to recreate those parts with vector graphics.  
Many fonts have clef symbols that could be used for this purpose.  You might 
even want to use a vector graphics application like inkscape for rubber 
stamps, but that depends on your specific problem, of course.

[Gimp-user] sharpening a black and white graphic

[CJ]

I have an image of two musical staves with the bass and treble cleft symbols
that is pixilated. This image will be made into a rubber stamp and needs to
look professional.
The only way I can see to sharpen the image is to scale it up then use the
pen and ink tool to sharpen the edges - filling in where the pixilation leaves
a jagged edge.

I am really new to using the Gimp and can't really see how using the mouse to
guide the pen can work.
AM I missing something?... or is there a better way to accomplish what I
need?

Thanks
