Music Scores from Hathi Trust

[Zeyar Shwe]

I would be grateful for the advice on how to download the scores from Hathi Trust . I was trying to download the harp scores to upload on IMSLP. For the scores with full view and in PD, I could view the pages but when I downloaded the PDF (even for a single page and not the whole score), and when I opened the saved file, the page was blank.

To give an example it happened with 'Six divertimentos for the piano forte or harp with an accompaniment for a flute or violin / composed ... by Veronica Cianchettini' and also with the a few others that I tried to download. All the downloaded pages were blank. Can someone please explain how to download scores from Hathi Trust . Cypressdome has no problem getting scores from it and I wonder whether I was not doing somrthing wrong in downloading. I would much appreciate if anyone can kindly explain.

Here "Download the whole book (PDF)" in the left column works. How big is the pdf you obtain?

Thank you coulonnus. I have used ''Download the whole book (PDF)" in the left column and mysteriously it worked . But not always. Sometimes the PDF has only the first page with Hathi Trust was downloaded and the rest of the pages were blank. I am mystified and I wonder wgether it is the internet connection problem.

I am getting more mystified. After the PDF was downloaded, and when I saved it on my computer, all the pages became blank. Can cypressdome come to my rescue again please.

What is its size once downloaded? Should be 11.193.525 bytes. With which tool do you view it?

[coulonnus]

With Foxit Reader the first page (Hathitrust "copyright") show up quickly then the next ones remain blank for a second or so, but show up.

And Sumatra says "please wait" for a couple of seconds at each page.

Thank you so much for all your replies, coulonnus. I could open the saved PDF files with Adobe reader and Google chrome. I am much obliged.
