Cropping
[edit | edit source]

Sheet music has white areas around it which you might want to remove to make notes larger.

Or remove certain parts of music, like specific staff at top and bottom.

This can be done by cropping the music.

This can be done in two ways:

Save zoom as Crop[edit | edit source]

With zooming you can alter the cropping of the piece:

  1. First pinch-to-zoom on your touchscreen or use the scrollwheel of you mouse. Pinch-to-zoom is touching two fingers on the touch screen, and move them apart to zoom in, or together to zoom out. With scrollwheel of mouse you rotate forward to zoom in and backward to zoom out.
  2. Then you see the screen shown in Image 10. With "Save as Crop" button 1 you can save current zoom as crop. With "Edit Crop" button you can go to screen describe in next section. With "Revert Zoom" 3 you can go back to normal view.
Cropping Screen[edit | edit source]

There is also a screen where the cropping can be detected and set in more detail.

For this screen follow these steps:

  1. Go to "Full Menu" in top menu of MusicReader.
  2. Then in the "Crop" option under "Piece Functions".
  3. Now you see the crop screen as shown in Image 11.
  4. With buttons 1 you can browse through the pages of the piece. With 2 you can autodetect the cropping of the current page and 4 does this for all pages. 3 sets the cropping of current page to the full page, so actually no crop. With handles like 5 and 6 you can manually detemine the crop. Simply drag the handles.
