Thanks. This -lat option will be useful for those images that have a rather dark background near the left or right margin.

Re: Improving low resolution images downloaded from some librari

There are also the scores on Google Books, where they've done a very bizarre thing. Isolated systems or pages have been scanned at 150 dpi grayscale, while most of the scan is at 600 dpi monochrome. Look at vocal score for Saint Saens' opera ''Henry VIII'' to see what I'm talking about. Trying to p...

Re: Improving low resolution images downloaded from some librari

Your monochrome conversion of the of the C. Schubert piece is pretty good. You should try it on one of the Chrysander Handel scores we have from the Bavarian State Library. Ideally, 600 x 600 dpi would be the goal for a full score. Piano music seems to work OK at 300 x 300. Gives about the same imp...

Re: Improving low resolution images downloaded from some librari

Your link doesn't work. Go to: http://levy-test.dkc.jhu.edu/ and select "Search the Collection". Search for "schubert" within "Composer, Lyricist, Arranger" It will be the fifth entry and it has a "View PDF" link. Pete Thanks for your help. This one has a bet...

Improving low resolution images downloaded from some librari

Sites like Levy Sheet Music, Bavarian State Library, University of North Carolina etc. offer low-resolution, color or greyscale images of sheet music instead of high-resolution B/W images. Intuitively this better-than-BW feature could be used to improve the BW rendering. The present images are ugly ...

[FEAT] logic of the commercial links

I concede the commercial link present with each score can be constructive, but its logic gives off-topic results because it returns any result that contains the first and last name of the composer somewhere in the article. Example: Schulhoff, Julius, l'Ondine: The first result, Editon Lockenhaus, co...
