Extracting lyrics from Sharpeye MRO files 2002-05-24 12:19 pm Attention all music scanners!In despair of finding a solution to the problem of getting lyrics out of files made by the Sharpeye OCR program, I wrote a Perl script to do the job. (You need Perl on your machine to run it.) It outputs all verses, one staff per line and with a blank line betweeen verses, to a text file called <foo>_lyrics.txt (where <foo>.mro is the Sharpeye file you've input). You can preserve dashes between syllables, like you'd need to cut-n-paste into NWC, or not. I use it for hymns and find it saves me a whale of time. You're welcome to try it out; please let me know if you have problems or suggestions.http://www.pateys.nf.ca/geekdom/sharpeye_lyrics.shtml--Heather Pateyhpatey@nfld.comhttp://www.pateys.nf.ca/music/ Quote Selected
Re: Extracting lyrics from Sharpeye MRO files Reply #1 – 2002-05-24 05:53 pm Thank you!I suspect several folks out there are using Sharpeye, since it does a credible job of ocr'ing music. Your method will allow for copy/pasting into the nwc lyric dialogue box.Have you thought about shooting your info to Sharpeye. Perhaps they might want to link to it! Quote Selected
