Rutger - I would be very interested in obtaining a copy of your niff2ly filter.
I use SmartScore from MusicTek. This one is associated with Finale, not Sibelius. The recognition can be reasonably good - if you are lucky (95%+ on good quality printing, and I actually had one at 100%). Recognizes lyrics moderately well, poor on articulations. Depending on version, handles '2 to unlimited' voices, but I find it gets confused - a lot - keeping multiple voices straight on a single staff. Doesn't seem to handle staff-switching. Does a good job on (piano) chords. One version apparently recognizes tabulature (no experience). Difficulty comes in the transfer to Lilypond - internal format (enf), MIDI or NIFF 4 & 6a or Finale (fin) Since I ended up primarily doing one-voice-at-a-time midi & midi2ly (time skew bug, 6 vocal + piano voices), and had a deadline, this was not necessarily a pleasant experience. /Hans _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
