I have used a utility to convert PDF to Tiff. then, I open them in Sharp-Eye
and put them through the Read process, just as if I had scanned them in from
hard copy. Of course, the results will vary, based on the quality and layout
of the original. I think you can download a demo, and the purchase price is
around $49. For more info, go to

Lindsey,
Perhaps I'm not understanding what you're saying, but SharpEye does indeed
save as both NIFF and XML files. The issue with SharpEye is that it still
needs a sighted editor to make sure the files are truly ready to be opened
with Lime. Depending upon the complexity of the music, these errors will get
worse as the piece is processed through Lime and GoodFeel. Bach chorales
will probably come out fine without sighted intervention, but complicated
piano scores probably won't, especially if voices change hands a lot. And
miniature orchestral scores don't fare much better.
I'm glad to assist you. Please e-mail me off-list and we can discuss this
further.
Sincerely,
Andy English

Subject: [goodfeel] PDF Question
Hi all. I have a question for you. In my Music Theory class, we
will have to analyze full scores, which are posted on the course
website as PDF's. The best way that I have learned to put the PDF
files into Lime so that Lime can read them is to print the PDF
and scan it with Sharp Eye. However, Sharp Eye is not not able to
save the image as either an NIF or Music XML file so that it can
be importe into lime. The only other solution that I can think of
would be to find an XML file of the same score somewhere else on
the internet or listen to a YouTube video of the same piece (I
have perfect pitch, which really comes in handy for score
analysis.) However, I would like to use Lime, because then I can
find out how each chord is voiced and look for other things that
I wouldn't be able to find with a YouTube copy. Thanks guys.
Lindsey
