You will setup the way objects are handled.
If no PDF document is open when you change a setting
in this menu, it will apply to all future opened
documents, otherwise it will apply to the frontmost
document.
In some cases, changing a calculation setting for a
document will need its total or partial
recomputation.
Score>Allow special lines
|
 |
Some PDF draw note stems with
rounded lines :
Some programs draw staff lines using characters
mixed with standard lines.
Some programs draw dots using small rounded lines.
When this mode is enabled, these lines will be
processed.
Score>Allow thin beams
|
|
|
Some PDF draw beams with thin
lines :
When this mode is enabled, these lines will be
processed.
Score>Allow ledger lines
|
|
|
Ledger lines are used to determinate note
pitches when the symbol is outside the staff lines.
If there is no ledger lines, notes will be lost. In
this case disable this option.
Score>Allow bracket to create
groups
|
|
|
Normally, staves groups are notated with braces. Is
this mode is active, bracket also create
groups.
Score>Allow modern notations
|
|
|
This option is still experimental. It aims to
enable specific algorithms to handle special cases.
Processing of time signature located above the
staff.
Score>Allow ancient notations (pro
version only)
|
|
|
In ancient notation we found accidental below or
above note like here :
Score>Allow figured bass (pro
version only)
|
|
|
In this type of notation, the chords of the bass
are written in a simplified way: a note gives the
fundamental, numbers and symbols specify inversions
and alterations of degrees.
Score>Allow figured bass (pro
version only)
|
|
|
In this type of notation, the chords of the bass
are written in a simplified way: a note gives the
fundamental, numbers and symbols specify inversions
and alterations of degrees.
Score>Allow tempi
|
|
|
If tempo changes are incorrectly found in your
document try to disable this option.
Score>Allow dynamics
|
|
|
If dynamics are incorrectly
found in your document try to disable this option.
Score>Allow fermata
|
|
|
If fermata are incorrectly found in your
document try to disable this option.
Score>Allow automatic break
adjustment
|
|
|
Some PDF include several lyric
lines related to the staff with incorrect break
symbols (repeats, jumps, endings). When this
mode is enabled, PDFtoMusic tries to create
breaks symbols in order to match the actual
number of repeats.
Some documents have different movements
separated by the end of music symbol.
When movement processing is disabled, these
symbols are eliminated to allow the entire
document to be interpreted.
Score>
Allow big images
|
| |
Eliminates images that are too large and can
disrupt visualization. By default, all images
which are larger than 25% of the page. On
PDFtoMusicPRO this threshold is adjustable in
the "Images" tab of the expert mode.
Staves>Allow multi-voices
staves
|
| |
If PDFtoMusic considers that one or several staves
in the document are made of several voices and you
are sure of the opposite, you can deactivate this
processing mode.
If dynamics are incorrectly found in
your document try to disable this option.
Staves>Allow left and right hand
fusion
|
|
|
Groups of two staves joined by a brace are merged
into one part. If not active, this allows you, for
example, to export the left hand and the right hand
separately.
Staves>Allow splitting of merged
singers
(version Pro uniquement)
|
|
|
In some choral scores, several singers are written
on the same staff.
For example:
Soprano and alto share the same staff.
When this calculation mode is activated, the singers
will be separated and therefore it will be possible
to adjust and export them separately.
Staves>Allow clefs vertical shift
|
|
|
Is this mode disabled, clefs vertical
position will be ignored
Staves>
Allow time signature change
|
|
|
If wrong time signature changes are added inside a
measure line, disable this option.
Staves>Allow key changes
|
|
|
It can be sometimes difficult to tell
accurately whether the accidentals at the start of a
bar are a key change, or regular accidentals that
has to be applied to the following notes.
For instance:
If PDFtoMusic finds key changes on a document that
doesn't include any, deactivate this processing
mode.
Staves>Allow non-standard number
of lines
|
|
|
If you realize that your document offers
staffs that do not have five lines, activate this
mode.
Measures>Allow multi-rest
|
|
|
If some numbers below the staff are recognized
as multi-rest, you can disable them with this
option.
Measures>
Allow short barlines
|
|
|
In some old notations, barlines
are displayed as a small vertical line :
When this option is on, these lines will be
processed as regular, full-length barlines.
Notes and Rests>Allow grace notes
|
|
|
If little notes are processed as graces, disable
this option.
Notes and Rests>Allow enhanced
chords
|
| |
Two notes horizontally very close to each other can
be considered as belonging to the same chord (there
are sometimes chords in which the notes are not
perfectly aligned). This option enables you to
deactivate this mode.
Notes & Rests>Allow tuplets
|
|
|
In some scores, a digit appears near the
note to indicate the fingering. In some cases,
PDFtoMusic interprets this fingering text as tuplets
(triplets, etc). If there are no tuplets in the
piece, deactivate this option to prevent PDFtoMusic
from searching for tuplets in the score.
If you deactive this option, PDFtoMusic will no
longer search for tuplets in the score.
Texts>Allow lyrics
|
|
|
If some textual informations, near the staff are
recognized as lyrics, and the document don't include
lyrics, you can disable them whith this option.
Texts>Allow shared lyrics
|
| |
In some vocal pieces (for
instance, Barbershop scores), when several
performers sing the same lyrics, only one lyric
line is written:
When this mode is active, PDFtoMusic will assign the
lyric line to both staves.
Texts>Allow chords name
|
| |
In some cases, the lyrics line can be constituted by
chords names, for example when the singer sing "La
La La La". Invalid this option to ignore chords name
processing and add the texts to lyric line and not
chord line.
Texts>Allow complex
typography in chord names
|
|
|
In some case, chord names are written using
miscellaneous fonts, size, or vertical shifts.
Activate this option to got a more flexible chord
names recognition.
Texts>Allow fingering
|
|
|
If PDFtoMusic recognizes tuplets as
fingering notation (this generally provides a bar
duration error), you can deactivate fingering
seeking for the whole document.
Texts>Allow group names
|
|
|
If group names are incorrectly found in your
document try to disable this option.
Texts>Allow footers
|
|
|
If footers are incorrectly found in your
document try to disable this option.
Staff matching over systems
|
|
|
With this option, you can change the way the
software follows automatically a staff across
systems (see "Staves and Systems" above)
The most complex levels are usually more accurare,
but could slow down significantly the whole process
(up to several dozens of seconds per page)
The different possible levels are:
- Very Simple: Dedicated to scores in which
empty staves are not omitted
- Simple: For simple cases (e.g. a few
instruments disappear after the intro). It's the
default value when the software has just been
installed.
- Quite Complex: Some staves disappear and
others appear frequently on the score, and the
previous level makes mistakes
- Complex: Score difficult to read, with many
staves disappearing while other appear. To be
used when all the previous levels fail.
High resolution
|
| |
When a document is made of many tiny staves, some
inaccuracy errors can occur in the vertical
positioning of notes and rests.
Switching to high resolution increases the precision
(and the computation time). You can define that all
documents will be loaded in high resolution from the
general preferences.
Reset to default settings
|
|
|
This applies to all settings from "Allow multi-voice
staves" to "High-definition".
• If no PDF document is open and this option is
inactive, then all default calculation settings are
already identical to the factory's.
This option is active when at least one default
setting has been changed.
Differences are displayed in bold, and you can reset
them all to factory settings either by selecting
this option, or manually, one by one.
• If at least one PDF document is open and this
option is inactive, then the settings for the
frontmost document are aleady indentical to those by
default.
This option is active when at least one setting has
been changed for this document.
Differences are displayed in bold, and you can reset
them all to default settings either by selecting
this option, or manually, one by one.
