Correcting Skew

Page through each scanned image and check for relative straightness of each image

page. If a page appears tilted or skewed, recognition accuracy will be compromised.

The Deskew tool rotates the image slightly to correct skewed pages and will optimize

recognition accuracy.

a.  Press the Deskew button in the Image Toolbar or select Deskew from the

Edit menu.

b.  Position the cursor over a staff line. Starting from the left side, click and

drag the mouse along the length of the staff line. A red "skew angle" line

will display as you drag the mouse. When you are certain the red "skew

angle" line parallels the staff line, let go. The page will automatically

straighten. Repeat for each page. Remember to Save when done.

NOTE: If the page becomes incorrectly rotated, undo with Ctrl + z / Cmnd + z for

Mac (or select Edit > Undo).

· Invert

If the image you open in SmartScore is white-on-black (instead of the normal black-

on-white), then you should reverse the image output in your scanning software.

SmartScore defaults to 0=white polarity.

If your scanned image appears white on black, choose Edit > Invert or choose the

Invert button from the Toolbar.

· Delete Page

If there is more than one scanned page in the image file, the Delete Page function is

active. Use it to remove poorly scanned or duplicated pages. To re-scan and restore

deleted pages, see "Removing, replacing and re-saving scanned pages" on page 33.

· Freehand Draw (Brush)

To draw free hand lines in your image file, select Brush from the Edit menu OR

press the Brush button in the Image Toolbar. Choose a line width then click and drag

to paint.
