Scanning sheet music 2002-01-10 05:00 am Recently I had a problem where I lost all my NWC files due to PC problem. I have hard copies of all my lost music but I would like to rescan them into NW. Some I have to edit for minor errors, some I have to add a few more bars. Is there any way to do this, save rewriting them all? Quote Selected
Re: Scanning sheet music Reply #1 – 2002-01-10 05:00 am First of all, really sorry for you!!Don't you have any copy of some of them, either on the NG if you posted it, or on the scripto?Otherwise, you *may* scan them but the results vary a lot depending on the software used.You may read https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=2013, https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=496, https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=454 and some others threads about OCR.Sometimes it's quicker to re-enter the score entirely, depending on its complexity (and length!).Hab mut! (have guts?)P.S. Try to keep copies of your files on some other devices. Diskettes (you don't have an i-mac, do you?) are an easy way, since NWC files are *small*; but CDs (RW or not) are simpler for complete backups.You may also send them to a webmail you own (but no backup is done by the providers usually).Hope this helps!
