Hello,
Does anybody here know of software that could convert a .pdf into
.ly? Mayber .pdf to .xml first, then to .ly?
Or .pdf into .svg, or some sort of image file? I got some music from
the IMSLP site, it needs to be rotated and cleaned up a bit.
Thanks for any help,
Gerard
I've been playing around a bit with
http://audiveris.kenai.com/index.html but as mentioned elsethread, it
takes a fair bit of manual intervention.

I use SharpEye quite a bit, and on good scans of clean scores, it does a
pretty good job. Not cheap, though. http://visiv.co.uk/

SharpEye also has a freeware version with some restrictions. One of them
is that it does not generate MusicXML. It can create NIFF though, and I
wrote a converter from NIFF to Lilypond: niff2ly. niff2ly generates
quite old Lilypond, so you will want to run convert-ly over its output,
and it has its restrictions when voicing becomes complicated.
Download niff and niff2ly from http://www.cs.vu.nl/~rutger/music.html
