mg.) example from you so I can create a PDF file and convert it into a musicXML without manually correcting it and see what all real short comings are! This because your comments doesn't yet make sense to me.


If I'm the one I should like to get a BIAB file (.

I'm not sure for who this comment is meant. By that I mean it's like taking a pic of an existing chart with your phone and simply counting the number of bars you see and the chords you see while ignoring the other. What you do is simply visualize what the chart looks like without all the extra stuff like 1sr/2nd endings, tags, codas, DS's, and section letters. My advice is just deal with how it is because change ain't happening and these other programs don't work either.Įdited by jazzmammal ( 01/02/15 09:25 AM) Just experiment with that and forget wishing Biab would do this or that or messing around with all these other programs. Not as elegant as using Biab's built in pdf creator but using a scanner is almost as fast. If I need to email them I'll scan them to a pdf and email that. I'll then make copies and hand them out to band members. I can easily hand write the coda sign wherever it should go. I'll set the left margin to 3/4" so I have room to write the song section letters and any little one word notes like "Tag" or "Coda.". It's no problem to get the staff, bar lines, melody and chords alone to display like I want them. By that I mean it's like taking a pic of an existing chart with your phone and simply counting the number of bars you see and the chords you see while ignoring the other stuff.Įnter your chords and bars in Biab that way as one chorus, no chorus repeat, then print it out and then hand write all those other things. What you do is simply visualize what the chart looks like without all the extra stuff like 1sr/2nd endings, tags, codas, DS's, and section letters. Therefore I've worked out a workaround that others have figured out as well. This has been in the wishlist since forever and nothing's been done so the assumption is nothing can be done for whatever reasons so for me it's a dead issue. It's always been and still is the same thing over and over: Biab/RB won't do what we want and all the other programs either don't work or are so complex (and expensive) nobody but a rocket scientist can figure them out. I've been reading these "create a chart" threads for years. Read my forum thread if you want to access all the other formats as well and more: SugarSync PDF BIAB YAHOO FILES #-Z (mscz prints): Additionally I choosed a greater chord size which sometimes leads to overlapping chords, but that was MY choice. The result is printed with a MuseScore template, so measures with too crowded notes ( in BIAB) are represented in a different better way. In fact this new PDF representation is the result of the musicXML. The results can be seen here:Īfter conversion to musicXML they have been imported into MuseScore and batch reconverted into 3 other formats (after a fixed simple filter I created myself). The 6000 BIAB files have been batch-printed. It is quite easy to compare the results and give comments, in order to evaluate if the tool PDFtoMusic Pro is good enough (imho it is) to produce worthwhile and useful musicXML files (or. Reading this discussion, I like to draw your attention to the 6000 BIAB files I converted into musicXML.
