Anyone who plays an instrument is familiar with receiving sheet music in a PDF file, but the technical facilities for enhancing that experience are terrible. This project will involve extracting the actual musical semantics (notes and their lengths) from PDF files, encoding these as MusicXML, and allowing the music to be adjusted, personalised, and optimised for performance using the advanced typographic tools created by a prize-winning group project team last year.
