  • Integrating Paper and Digital Music Information Systems Karen Lin and Tim Bell University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand
    Integrating Paper and Digital Music Information Systems Karen Lin and Tim Bell University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand Abstract Active musicians generally rely on extensive personal paper-based music information retrieval systems containing scores, parts, compositions, and arrangements of published and hand-written music. Many have a bias against using computers to store, edit and retrieve music, and prefer to work in the paper domain rather than using digital documents, despite the flexibility and powerful retrieval opportunities available. In this paper we propose a model of operation that blurs the boundaries between the paper and digital domains, offering musicians the best of both worlds. A survey of musicians identifies the problems and potential of working with digital tools, and we propose a system using colour printing and scanning technology that simplifies the process of moving music documents between the two domains. Keywords : user interfaces, user needs, optical music recognition 1. Introduction Traditionally musicians have stored and retrieved music scores using paper-based systems. Many musicians have built up personal libraries of music books, compositions, arrangements and sheet music. The acquisition or creation of documents is straightforward, but the retrieval or modification of scores is hindered by the inflexibility of the paper medium. A digital music library would have a number of benefits, including convenient retrieval (instead of searching through piles of music), ease of processing (such as part extraction), and communication (sending electronic copies to other performers). However working with digital documents also poses significant barriers for users more familiar with traditional paper documents. In this paper we explore the relationship between the paper and digital domains, and the possibility of allowing easy conversion between the two to allow documents to exist in both domains and be processed in whichever domain is the most convenient.

  • Using Smartscore 2.Pdf
    Using SmartScore Scanning Music Be sure you have the necessary scanner drivers installed before attempting to scan from inside SmartScore. Most scanners come with software that enable programs such as SmartScore to control them. TWAIN drivers and/or Mac plug-ins are normally included in the software packaged with most scanners. It may be necessary for certain Mac users to perform a “Custom > TWAIN” installation from the CD accompanying your scan- ner; depending on the manufacturer. NOTE: Scanner drivers are often updated by scanner manufacturers and posted on their web sites. If problems occur during scanning, it is always a good idea to check the Internet for updated scanner drivers before calling Musitek Technical Support. Mac Users: Skip the next section. Turn to “Scanning in Macintosh” on page 6. Scanning in Windows: Using the SmartScore Scanning Interface a. Push the Scan button in the Navigator or in the Main Toolbar. Figure 1: Scan Button b. If there is no response, go to File > Scan Music > Select Scanner and choose appropriate TWAIN driver. If you do not see anything listed in the Select Scanner window, your drivers are probably not installed. Install or replace TWAIN driver from scanner CD or from “Driver Download” area of scanner manufacturer’s website. c. If the scanner still does not operate properly, go to “Choosing an alternative scanning interface” on page 5. USING SmartScore 1 Help > Using SmartScore Your scanner should immediately begin to operate with Scan or Acquire. A low-resolution pre-scan should soon appear in the Preview window.
