Hi all,
I've recently tried the "audiveris" software which is basically a tool
which take a scanned musical partition in input (pdf, jpg,...) and
execute an OCR recognition to output it as a mxl (music XML) file which
you're then able to open in MuseScore as an example. This is making it a
really great tool for musicians with no free-software alternative as far
as I know.
I found out that there is a RFP (Request For Package) hanging around in
the BTS for a while:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=547671
This software has been actively maintained by its developer for more
than 10 years now.
I have no idea how to package this (java it seems) software properly. I
hope with this email that it'll reach an interest here.
Cheers,
Olivier
