does end in a digit 'book0.pdf' root name = 'book' does not end in a digit 'book.pdf' root name = 'book'Ģ. The root name is the 1st one without any trailing 0 or 1.ġ. Book1.pdf, Book2.pdf, etc., then they will be treated as one entire book. Some of the bindings of these books are well-worn, so scanning works best in smaller chunks. I have several books > 100 pages and scan them in smaller chunks to PDF. However, the program needs write permission to write the BMK files. All auxiliary data, such as Table Of Contents, Favorites, Inking, LastPageNumberViewed) is stored in the BMKs. The PDFs are never altered by the program. Choose a path to a root folder which contains PDF music files. I tried various software sheet music viewers available, but wasn't at all satisfied, so I wrote my own to view my 30,000 pages of music. Luckily it's pretty simple to have software rotate the page.

The binding edges of the pages were much less uniformly smooth (some had residual adhesive) than the non-binding edge because of the binding, so I fed them smooth edge first (upside down) through the document feeder. However, because of the age and wear and tear of the books (putting on the piano, turning pages), some of the pages were pretty worn.

The doc sheetfeeder allowed me to scan up to 100 pages at a time. I used a few Xerox WorkCentre 7855i or similar models available at work. Since then I bought my own book binding cutter (HFS New Heavy Duty Guillotine Paper Cutter) and comb binding machine (Marigold 19-Hole Letter Size Comb Ring Binding Machine)Ībout 3 months ago, I obtained a Microsoft Surface Book 2, which had a display large enough to trigger me digitizing my music collection. This made playing the music much easier on the piano. Many decades ago I chopped off the bindings of the books and rebound them using plastic comb binding. Most of the books were 'perfect bound' which means they didn't stay open on the piano music stand. I love to play piano, especially ragtime. I keep them on my OneDrive, so that I can access them from any machine that I've collected over the last several decades. I have a few hundred piano music books, singles, etc.

The SheetMusic/Ragtime folder has sample PDFs which you can use if as samples if you need to.Optionally persists views by Date, to see which music viewed recently.The original PDFs are not altered in any way Use ink (a stylus, mouse, or your finger) to add any writing/corrections to the view.Mark any page as a Favorite, and scan through favorites.Keep in mind the page size will be roughly the screen size. To view on a piano, a tablet like Windows 10 device, like Microsoft Surface Pro and SurfaceBook are very good.
