Outputs

Output files are generally located in the dedicated subfolder of the related book. See the Folders chapter.

This chapter presents the various output formats designated by their file extension.

A special emphasis is put on the .omr format, since this format governs the internal structuring of any Audiveris project file. Such file is also named a Book file, because there is one .omr project file per Book, and the file merely represents the marshalling of Book internal data from memory to disk.

Output Formats

There are 3 possibilities for the output of a transcribed score:

  • Output as OMR file for saving and later reloading of OMR data for additional processing, manual correction or production of other outputs.
    See the .omr format section.

  • Output as PDF file for direct use by a musician. It writes the resulting image into a PDF file, which is basically the content of the Picture/Binary tab in logical mode.
    See the .pdf format section.

  • Output as MusicXML file for use in a score notation program. It writes a MusicXML file with the exported score entities.
    See the .mxl format section.
