Dear PMX users,
I want to rapidly communicate on my recent experiences with Scanner
input into PMX.
In my choir we often have the task of modifying existing notes either in
parts of the music or the text.
And I do not want any handwritten corrections, but something which looks
nice. This, of course, I produce with PMX.
Manually turning existing note sheets into PMX code is straightforward
and quite fast. But with a Scanner it would be much faster.
So I made some experimentation with the Scanner Software *Smart Eye*
from VISIV /UK. Smart Eye generates after scanning (among other
options) output in terms of MusicXML,
which has been developed by Recordare (www.*musicxml*.com).
In the last two weeksI have been working on a prototype which reads in
MusicXML and spits out the notes partfor PMX.I include as examplea
christmas carol
for SATB. After scanning there remained some inaccuracies, which could
easily resoved with the notes editor of SharpEye.
The final MusicXML code has not been touched, and everything after and
including the line "% Bar 1" has been generated automatically.
Of course, my little prototype does not (yet) completely implement
MusicXML. Another drawback for wider use of my development might be,
that I employed a somewhat exotic language: OBERON from Niklaus Wirth of
the ETHZ Zürich.
You are most welcome to further discuss this topic.
Regards,
Dieter
