PDF conversion and I do not get along

• Jan 29, 2019 - 02:33

Hi. Just PDFed an old score of mine (because I can't find the original score anywhere) and ran it through the conversion routine. I got back a lot of gibberish, including the following:

Measure 4, staff 5 incomplete. Expected: 2/1; Found: 11600/5760
Measure 11, staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 0/1
Measure 11, staff 2 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 0/1
Measure 11, staff 3 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 0/1
Measure 12, staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 0/1
Measure 12, staff 2 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 0/1
Measure 12, staff 3 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 0/1
Measure 13, staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 8/4; Found: 0/1
Measure 13, staff 2 incomplete. Expected: 8/4; Found: 0/1
Measure 13, staff 3 incomplete. Expected: 8/4; Found: 0/1
Measure 14, staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 17/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 14, staff 2 incomplete. Expected: 17/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 14, staff 3 incomplete. Expected: 17/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 15, staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 17/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 15, staff 2 incomplete. Expected: 17/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 15, staff 3 incomplete. Expected: 17/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 16, staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 35/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 16, staff 2 incomplete. Expected: 35/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 16, staff 3 incomplete. Expected: 35/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 16, staff 4 incomplete. Expected: 35/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 17, staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 23/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 17, staff 2 incomplete. Expected: 23/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 17, staff 3 incomplete. Expected: 23/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 17, staff 4 incomplete. Expected: 23/16; Found: 0/1
Measure 18, staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 8/4; Found: 0/1
Measure 18, staff 2 incomplete. Expected: 8/4; Found: 0/1
Measure 18, staff 3 incomplete. Expected: 8/4; Found: 0/1
Measure 18, staff 4 incomplete. Expected: 8/4; Found: 0/1

Now, the whole score is in 4/4. It's a samba; so there's a lot of syncopation. But should that have produced this...stuff? You can compare the MS file to the PDF, which is 300dpi grayscale/text. In the meantime, guess I'll get to work transcribing this score into MS.

Thank you, ttfn.
