Richard, I have to say I'm impressed with the quality of your scans.

 

May I ask how you get such clean scans?  Mine always seems dark and murky in comparison.

 

Any tips appreciated.

 

Best,

Adam

My scanner is just a very cheap Epson DX7450 combined printer/scanner/copier, the only probelm I have had with it is that, when I scan music, it seems to want to scan it one line at a time resulting in five scans or more, for one page. I avoid this by turning off 'autoscan' and scanning in the 'professional mode' whatever that is - I am no computer expert so just push the buttons until the machine does what I want.

Fair enough! :)

Thanks for the reply.

Best,

Try drawing a heavy black line down one edge of a piece of paper and put it behind the sheet music so the line is visible. The scanner will follow that line to the end. That's how I deal with reluctant scans.

Thanks for the tip on taming the scanner Claude.
