Here's Five Mystical Songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams for voice and piano: http://www.archive.org/details/fivemysticalsong00vaug

I tried to clean it up for IMSLP with GIMP and Inkscape but my computer doesn't have enogh memory and the programs crash.

I hope you are able to obtain more memory in the future. At any rate, I downloaded it and cleaned it up in Photoshop since it's certainly a nice addition to the collection. It took me about 40 minutes doing it manually like this. I replaced your logo-infested files with the cleaned version, which is now available.

Thanks. I want to buy the memory but my finances are not good. I also thought it's a very nice score and decided to post it unedited for that reason. Note, however, that i do clean up and post those PDFs that do not crash my system.

Hope your financial situation improves soon. The other scores you've posted have been fine - many thanks for contributing them. It's unfortunate that New York Public Library allowed Microsoft to paste their logo on every singe page of the items they scanned.

Yes. . . and Google Books. . . There's a wealth of material there, but, sadly, it's the same situation.

Gus

With the right software, Google Books are considerably easier to deal with. We already have a fairly good collection of those, with more being added all the time.

I suppose it's software that automates the editing? I wonder what software is this. Photoshop?

It's a Acrobat Pro Plug-in/Extension called PitStop. It's very expensive, but is very good at dealing with the Google items.
