template to svg?

Post by EdeeJohnson »

How can you take a template like the ones I have attached and turn them into a svg file to import into SCAL? How can you do score lines too?

Some of the templates are pdf and can be downloaded, just open them in Inkscape. If already a vector, ungroup and save as svg. If not a vector, trace bitmap. The ones that aren't a download you just right click on them, select copy, and paste into Inkscape. Path/Trace bitmap. Though some of them are so faint that you will have to change the threshold. The one I did, I needed to increase it to something close to 1 (don't remember the exact number right now).

I have heard that some people are using dashes or underscores to make score lines. (Don't forget to convert to path).
