Hi Lilypond folks,
I was wondering if anyone has scanned sheet music and then used
Lilypond to transpose keys (especially on a Macintosh). I've
googled a bit and haven't found a method for doing this yet. Any
guidance is appreciated.
OK, so you want to transpose this piece. You scan the music, but what
do you want to do next?
You'll still have to type the notes into Lilypond by hand. There is
no software anywhere that does a decent job of reading scanned
scores. (I don't even think there's software that does a bad job!)
The available technology is too primitive.
But once you type the names of the original notes into your Lilypond
file, transposing is a simple matter of putting a "transpose"
statement at the top. You could transpose, print, then transpose into
another key and print again, with no work at all. But there's no way
around having to input all the notes by hand first.
