1.5 Scanning
Click on the name of the page you want to delete; you can select more than one page at the same
time by holding down Shift and clicking elsewhere in the list. When a page is selected, the word Remove appears to the right of its name: click Remove to delete the pages. PhotoScore will warn you that you are about to delete these pages: click Yes to confirm their deletion.
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS Scanning takes a long time If there are no signs of scanning happening – i.e. if after clicking on the Scan or Preview button the scanner remains silent with no lights moving or flashing – communication between the computer and the scanner has probably been interrupted. Check that the scanner is switched on and that the cable between it and the computer is firmly connected at both ends. If this doesn’t help, try reinstalling your TWAIN scanner driver software. Beware that some scanners need to be switched on before the computer is turned on, otherwise they are not detected.
Not all staves/systems are detected If after scanning a page you find that not all staves are highlighted in blue, or the staves are not correctly joined into systems by a thick red vertical line, this may be because: The original has 13 or more staves on a page: only PhotoScore Ultimate can scan scores with
more than 12 staves. The original was not flat on the scanner glass: always close the lid when scanning, unless scanning a thick book. It may also help if you gently press down on the scanner lid during scanning. The page was scanned at too low a resolution (i.e. the staves are smaller than you think): check the staff size, alter the scanner setting accordingly, and re-scan. You tried scanning a double-page spread: PhotoScore Lite cannot read both pages of a doublepage spread (e.g. from a miniature score) at once. Re-scan each of the pages separately. Ensure that the music on the facing page is completely off the glass, or not scanned – if any of it impinges on the scan, PhotoScore Lite will not read the music correctly. The staves are not clear enough in the original to be detected: in this case, you can tell PhotoScore Lite where any missing staves are located on the page – see ADVANCED FEATURES below.
Reading takes a long time If the page was scanned without being flat on the glass or with the lid open: you will get a black
border around the page that may spread across and obliterate some of the music. This can make PhotoScore Lite take an extremely long time to read the page. If this happens, interrupt reading (see below), then re-scan the page. 37
