Images from University of North Carolina

Post by coulonnus »

The University of North Carolina http://www.lib.unc.edu/dc/sheetmusic/
has interesting scores I would be happy to convert to pdf and import into imslp.

But once you select a page, this page shows up in very low resolution. If you click the + sign of the magnifying cursor you can view a section about the size of 1 system x 1 measure. This prove the server has a high resolution (better than 300 dpi) image somewhere in it.

When you click the lower icon you obtain "Open a printing view of the image". This opens a medium resolution (727x1000 pixels) of the page, but in the conversion many staff numbers and note stems have been whitened (like an "overexposed" image).

Apparently the "View in 3D" link doesn't bring anything more constructive
despite its attempts to look sophisticated.

Does anybody know I can download a high resolution image of the whole page?

Below the zoom function, there is a button "resize the viewport to fit the browser window". It allows you to have a bigger resolution. Try to use it.

Nice website. It has some Beethoven sonatas edited by Carl Czerny. Only three of them : opus 49 no 2, opus 27 no 2 and opus 13). I didn't know that Czerny had edited Beethoven sonatas.

J'ai trouvé ! This a very tricky solution, working with Firefox.

1. Click the + button to see the best resolution.
2. Right-click the image, select "Image Information"
3. Then you got a "Page Information" window with a very long URL, corresponding to one of the image's small blocks.
4. Right-click and copy this URL.
5. Paste it into the browser, you'll see the image block.
6. At the end of the URL, there is a section like "svc.region=" with 4 numbers separated by "," corresponding to the block. Change the digits to "0,0,5000,5000" and you'll have the full, high-resolution image!
7. Right in the middle of the URL, there's the number of the image ("xxxxx.jp2"). Just change the last digit to have the adjacent pages.

J'ai fait un test avec l'inénarrable Camille Schubert...
