SharpEye: Combining Separate Pages

This video will demonstrate how to assemble multiple page pieces in SharpEye.

Normally, you should process each page separately. That is, scan or open the image and Read the image. I'll just process the last page, page 3, to save time since this video is about combining pages; I already prepared pages 1 and 2. Each page can be fixed separately right after processing or later, after the pages are combined.

So first, I'll load the image file for page 3 (Open Image from the File menu) [Ctrl, O], then select Read from the Read menu [Alt+R, R]. I could fix this error now but I won't to show that errors can be fixed when the pages are separate or later, when they are combined. I'll save my music of this page, page 3.

Now, I'll actually combine the pages. First, I'll load the first page using Open Music from the File menu. After selecting the file, SharpEye asks whether you want to Replace the current music or Append it with the file you just opened. Since this is the music for the first page, I'll select Replace so that the first page is first. Then, for each of the following pages, I will select the next page's music using Open Music and then after selecting the file, I'll click on Append when asked. You can either save your music after each step, which I recommend, or deal with SharpEye's warning about your music being unsaved. I recommend using a name like BelCantoComplete which implies that all the pages are included. Save your music at least after Appending the last file.

At this point, you have a piece with all the pages and you can fix any remaining errors in SharpEye or, if there are no errors, save the music as a music XML file and import it into Lime.
