mix mx.scan (mx v0.1.0)

Copy Markdown View Source

Prepares the pages of a scanned score, reads the music on them with Audiveris or with a transcription model, and writes it as MusicXML beside the scan, ready for mix mx.import.

mix mx.scan score.pdf --pages 3-4

It reads a PDF, or a single page as a PNG, JPEG or TIFF image. --pages picks pages of a PDF, numbered as the PDF numbers them, such as --pages 3-4 or --pages 5. --raw gives Audiveris the pages as they are, without preparing them. --model reads the music with the transcription model of Mx.Transcriber instead of Audiveris: it cuts each prepared page into its systems and transcribes them one by one, which suits printed piano music and degraded copies better than Audiveris. --out names another path for the MusicXML, and --force writes over one that exists.

The prepared pages, and Audiveris's books of them or the systems and the ABC the model wrote for each, go in a folder beside the MusicXML. See documentation/audiveris.md for installing Audiveris.
