Higher resolution from the Danish National Library?

Post by David Campbell »

Is there a way to acquire higher resolution images from the Danish National Library than are available in their PDFs? There's one particular score by Ludvig Schytte (Book 2 of the 10 Musikalske Miniaturbilleder, Opus 8) that I'd like to rework, but I'm getting poor results due to the low resolution of the PDF. The score in question is linked to below. Thanks.

Sadly, no. All they make available are PDF files and sometime during 2014 they stopped posting PDFs with 300dpi images and starting posting ones with significantly lower resolutions.

Not to sound ungrateful, but what a pity. A lot of effort and resources were expended to get to that point - just a little more would have provided a much more usable product. Thanks for your input.

I have re-sampled and converted it to monochrome. http://imslp.org/wiki/10_Musikalske_Min ... 2C_Ludvig) Resampling can't do miracles but you can at least play it. And re-typeset it. :-)
