Hi,
This morning didn't go as planned what a surprise. We arrived at the hospital on time and usually this hospital is nice and quiet as I wait allowing me to read my magazine "The Strad" however there were electrical contractors installing very heavy mains supply cables complete with big control panels; this of course not to complain about; there's a long corridor and a lady in hard soled shoes walked up and down this corridor many times making more noise than the electricians; I closed the mag and just waited.
I'm struggling trying to enlarge "Somewhere my love" music score removing unwanted parts but enlarging wanted parts;
I'd like to increase height of each section seen making it easier to see but so far all I've done is waste half a day; I've tried using Gimp; Irfanview; Microsoft snip and even Emachine shop CAD. Here's what an original page looks like;
I can't yet read music and the two books still haven't arrived so I've been trying to get ready for when they do arrive; with a normal score on my desk music stand I have problems with the print size so I thought it wouldn't be a problem to cut out parts and increase the height of the parts I want to keep but here I go again on another steep learning curve. The full sheet seen at the bottom printed badly at first until I set the printer to 600dpi from 300dpi making it much clearer.
I have an A4 sized scannner which I used to scan the score onto my computer then I can print or edit.
For many years I've used "Microsoft snip" which is incredibly useful but even this is being phased out for an updateed version; I can copy any file type by opening Snip then using Snip to frame it using the rectangular tool and when saved it can then be easily opened. I can highly recommend Snip.
I've just used snip to copy this it being incredibly easy.
I'll keep at it and I'm learning all the time. Another day slips rapidly by.
Kind regards, Colin.
