Win 10 does not want to open SeeSharp.desktop.exe #35

Open Miltinsky opened 2 years ago

Miltinsky commented 2 years ago

Win 10 does not want to open SeeSharp.desktop.exe and says it is an unknown program. What to do? Could SeeSharp be used to display lyrics with chords above lyrics. The chords like D are on a line above the lyrics. Low vision person needs magnification but lines run off the side of the monitor. The fonts on downloaded lyrics/chords are monospace.

Thanks Milto Toronto

Hi @Miltinsky,

thanks for your feedback!

Win 10 does not want to open SeeSharp.desktop.exe and says it is an unknown program It sounds as though you ran into a windows security feature.

I don't recommend this usually, but depending on the dialog, you may want to click "More info" and "Run anyway" or make an exception in your antivirus.

Could SeeSharp be used to display lyrics with chords above lyrics.

It can, if you find a way to bake the lyrics into the image of the sheet music. The program will just pan over predefined scan lines in an image and has no understanding of musical context or lyrics.

It works in a similar way as MagniPy, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tvPX4ocKLg

Thanks Max! SeeSharp opened with no problem . I was able to display some sheet music. It seems to be very useful. I deduced the following: start stop scroll: l Spacebar ( I am not sure how that is supposed to work) scroll speed : CTRL Mouse wheel Zoom %: Mouse wheel:

Are there any other instructions or hotkeys?? I see it works with a JPEG but not PDF. Does it work with any other file types?

My twin, Murray, is the aspiring musician but he is greatly impeded by macular degeneration. I hope this will help him a lot.

Thanks

Try pressing F1 on any screen for a bit more context

JPEG, PNG, GIF and BMP are supported. You could try to convert your PDFs, for example here: https://pdf2png.com/
