Hi folks I am looking on a tool (for Windows) which automatically determines the borders of a scanned music score, cropes/removes the white borders and puts well defined borders on each page instead. Preferable Working on a complete PDF score. Scantailer can do so on individual graphical pages (jpg,...

Daphis muchas gracias I understand what you say. I also have a quite good feeling of what is an modified/extended reprint as you mention here.. But judges in a court hearing won't have it (normally). So they have to rely on expert on what is an transcription/enhancement. Do we have FIXED rules by la...

Daphnis BIG thanks for the quick answer! so whatever the rights of the individual score had been an exact typesetting does not change those. Good - one problem solved (the main one). Still back to question 1 - if I would retype a score in copyright with small modifications (and of course would use a...

Hi experts so if I handwrite or typeset a score which is in copyright, it's is still in copyright. (or better say I'm even not allowed to do so). If I do that from an recording then the score is out of copyright. But where is the border? If I could notate a song from a recording with the exact notes...

Thanks for your quick help.

Luckily I'm living in Germany, not it France

Hi experts, Jean Alain died 1940 in the 2nd world war.. Considering the gernal rule of 70 years, his work should be genarllay out of copywight. However I read at your side: ------------------- France As from January 1, 1995, the basic copyright has a duration of life of the last surviving author +70...

A question to the admins -

since we have reached another new year,
are there any composer's works which will be released
from the copyright protection at IMSLP now?

Thanks a lot!

Hi folks is there any program which directly changes the contrast in B/W PDF files (scores)? I tried A-PDF To Black and White without success. if the score is already in B/W it seems to ignore convertion option. Background: I will print out a lot of scores with harsh contrast and would rather remove...

Hi Sbeckmesser, Daphnis A3 120 seems to be the one I pan to buy as well in future. I have the old Mustek A3 USB scannner. It has limitations though: - no new driver update for Vista. I was searching several months after finally finding a driver buying my scanner about 1 1/2 year before. I think ther...

Carmar thanks for help. yes my software can allow to define 2 half pages of a A3, but this process is - first not userfriendly - and second the scanning the whole A3 page as such and then splitting it it into 2 A4 would save time. This is because what ever you define, the scanner goes back to initil...

Hi experts I have the following question: I have a Din A3 scanner and can scan 2 Din A4 pages (scores) in one scan into a Din A3 page format. Now I want to split this Din A3 Pages again into 2 Din A4 pages. Do you know any macro for Adobe Acrobat or other program which can do this on PDF files? Or i...

I was loolomg for the song from Liza Lehmann : Endymion The original song (soprano) serms to be in C Minor7major, hold at British library (1899) A reprint (1983)exists from Recital Publications, Texas, Hundsville, but in different key. My humble quesion concerning copyright: a) If I make a reprint o...

If you have compelling evidence that F. Steitner is indeed the original scanner, we of course would credit him as such. I can give enough evidence when the file in question includes missing or distorted pages. But it would be easier that you ask some of contributors where these files come from. I w...

Hallo Hobbypianist Ich habe Deine Beitreage von Walter Niemann gesehen - diese sind wohl wirklich von Dir selbst gescannt (1?). Ich habe Sie zumindest nirgendwo anders in Internet gefunden. Etliche Niemann scanns stammen auch von mir (Japan, Hamburg ...) Wuerde mich mal interessieren mit dir Kontatk...
