## The Project Gutenberg License Explained (informative)
|
||||
<div class="box_shadow">
|
||||
This section tries to explain the salient points of the Project Gutenberg license using English. You may want to skip to the Full Project Gutenberg License in Legalese (normative).
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
For nearly all uses, in nearly all parts of the world, the opening words of all of our eBooks apply: This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at [www.gutenberg.org]. If you are not located in the United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you are located before using this ebook."Details follow.
|
||||
|
||||
The Project Gutenberg license is hard to understand because it addresses three distinct things:
|
||||
|
||||
- your rights,
|
||||
- our limited warranty,
|
||||
- the use of the Project Gutenberg trademark.
|
||||
|
||||
It also addresses two categories of ebooks:
|
||||
|
||||
- books not protected by U.S. copyright laws, usually because any period of protection under U.S. law has expired, and
|
||||
- copyrighted books whose author gave Project Gutenberg permission to distribute them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Books Not Protected Under U.S. Copyright Law
|
||||
These books are not protected by copyright in the United States and anyone located in the United States — including Project Gutenberg and you — may read and distribute them. If you don't live in the United States you'll have to check the laws of the country you live in before downloading and distributing our ebooks.
|
||||
|
||||
Such a Project Gutenberg ebook is made out of two parts: the book text not protected by U.S. copyright lawand the non public domain Project Gutenberg trademark and license. If you strip the Project Gutenberg license and all references to Project Gutenberg from the text, you are left with a text unprotected by U.S. intellectual property law. You can do anything you want with that text in the United States and most of the rest of the world.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that Project Gutenberg no longer uses the term public domain, because of the many different ways people interpret that term leading to misunderstandings concerning who may do what with Project Gutenberg texts.
|
||||
|
||||
### Copyrighted Books
|
||||
Some authors give Project Gutenberg permission to distribute their book(s). This permission does not automatically expand to include you. If you want to distribute a copyrighted ebook you found on PG, you have to contact the author and stipulate an agreement.
|
||||
|
||||
N.B. The catalog will tell you if an ebook is protected by U.S. copyright law, but sometimes the catalog is wrong. Always look at the license inside the ebook to tell whether it is protected by U.S. copyright or not.
|
||||
|
||||
### Using the Project Gutenberg Trademark
|
||||
If you want to use the name Project Gutenberg anywhere in the ebooks you distribute or on the distribution medium or in advertising you have to obey these rules:
|
||||
|
||||
- you may only distribute verbatim copies of the ebooks. No changes are allowed to the ebook contents. (Though reformatting the ebook to a different file format is considered okay).
|
||||
- If you charge money for the copies you distribute, you have to pay royalties to Project Gutenberg.
|
||||
- You must refund your clients for defective copies or if they don't agree with the Project Gutenberg license.
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't agree with any of the above mentioned restrictions, you may not use the Project Gutenberg trademark. You may still distribute the ebooks if you strip the Project Gutenberg license and all references to Project Gutenberg.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Full Project Gutenberg License in Legalese (normative)
|
||||
Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
|
||||
|
||||
Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without permission and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

||||
THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
|
||||
|
||||
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
|
||||
|
||||
To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work (or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project Gutenberg-tm License available with this file or online at www.gutenberg.org/license.
|
||||
|
||||
### Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
|
||||
1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property (trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession. If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
|
||||
|
||||
1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
|
||||
|
||||
1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the United States and you are located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
|
||||
|
||||
[*] This particular work is one of the few individual works protected by copyright law in the United States and most of the remainder of the world, included in the Project Gutenberg collection with the permission of the copyright holder. Information on the copyright owner for this particular work and the terms of use imposed by the copyright holder on this work are set forth at the beginning of this work.
|
||||
|
||||
1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United States.
|
||||
|
||||
1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
|
||||
|
||||
1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
|
||||
|
||||
This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you are located before using this ebook.
|
||||
|
||||
1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
|
||||
|
||||
1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
|
||||
|
||||
1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
|
||||
|
||||
1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project Gutenberg-tm License.
|
||||
|
||||
1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary, compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
|
||||
|
||||
1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying, performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
|
||||
|
||||
1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided that
|
||||
- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
|
||||
- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
|
||||
- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of receipt of the work.
|
||||
- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
|
||||
|
||||
1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
|
||||
|
||||
1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
|
||||
|
||||
### Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
|
||||
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
|
||||
|
||||
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
|
||||
|
||||
### Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
|
||||
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
|
||||
|
||||
The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

### Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
|
||||
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
|
||||
|
||||
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
|
||||
|
||||
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
|
||||
|
||||
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
|
||||
|
||||
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
|
||||
|
||||
### Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
|
||||
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
|
||||
|
||||
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
|
||||
|
||||
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org
|
||||
|
||||
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
|
||||
|
||||
[*] This paragraph, after 1.C., is included only for copyrighted works. For those, you must contact the copyright holder before any non-free use or removal of the Project Gutenberg header.

|
|||
A disclaimer about these samples: specific OCR packages are named, but you should not take these as a fair and comprehensive comparative review of the software. The object of this exercise is to show typical scanning conditions and problems, and the resulting OCR output. OCR packages have quite a range of variance within themselves, may work better on some texts than others, may improve with "training" or different settings, and I have even seen the same OCR package produce different text from the same image with the same settings! Further, since OCR quality is improving rapidly, and packages leapfrog each other in quality, the next version of a particular brand may be vastly better than any of the software mentioned here. Of particular interest in this context is the leap in quality between OmniPage 10 and OmniPage 11.

#### Scan 1 — A perfect Scan
|
||||
Scan 1 is as near to a perfect scan as you can expect in PG work. It comes from The Founder of New France by Charles W. Colby. It is only a 300 dpi image, but given the quality of the print and of the scan, 300 dpi is all we need. Ironically, it comes from Gardner Buchanan, who complains about the age and infirmity of his scanner in his description of how he produces a text. The moral is that you don't have to have the latest equipment to get good results!

It doesn't really need any comment, and all of the packages except gocr rendered it perfectly. Note the fake "space" before the semicolon — if you look closely at the image, you will see why the OCR packages mistook it for a full space, as discussed in the FAQ [V.104] "My book leaves a space before punctuation like semicolons, question marks, exclamation marks and quotes. Should I do the same?"

#### Scan 2 — A Typical Scan
|

Scan 2 is a paragraph from Baroness Orczy's **Castles in the Air**. Notice the ink-splotch above the capital "I" in the first line, which will give our OCR some problems. The page is also unevenly inked elsewhere, and I have scanned it with the brightness level a bit too high.

I have made two separate scans, one at 300 dpi and one at 400 dpi, both black and white. The page was cleanly cut, and carefully placed straight onto the scanner glass with the cover down. The original print is somewhere between the size of Times New Roman 10 and 11, with capital letters about 2.2 millimeters high, but better and more clearly spaced. These scans are fairly typical for PG work. Because of the relatively large letters, and the reasonable scan, there isn't much difference between the text produced from the 300 dpi scan and the 400 dpi scan.

I actually cut this book to get the pages out so that I could feed it through my ADF, but the paper is so thick and textured that it sticks together, and jams when feeding through. The thick, absorbent paper, combined with the uneven inking, means that, no matter how good the scan, any OCR has to contend with the irregular edges of letters, which are clearly visible even at 300 dpi.

#### Scan 3 — Guttering and Smaller Print
|
||||
Scan 3 is a paragraph from The Egoist by George Meredith. It was scanned in a dim room, with the scanner cover open and the book held open, flat against the scanner glass. However, the spine was not pressed firmly enough against the glass, and as a result you can see that the words on the left-hand edge (which were near the spine) appear to be slanted, a bit distorted, and not well lit. This problem is familiar to people who scan for PG — everybody gets distracted sometimes, and fails to keep enough pressure on the spine. As you see from the results below, it caused problems for all of the OCR packages on the words affected. If you find this kind of "guttering" regularly in your own scans, where the characters near the spine are not being recognized correctly by your OCR, you need to make sure that your book is down as flat as possible before making a scan.
|
||||
|
||||
I have made two separate scans, one at [300 dpi]() and one at [400 dpi](), both black and white. Because of the smaller size and the guttering problem, the 400 dpi scan made for better quality text in this case.

#### Scan 4 — A Really Bad Case!
|
||||
Scan 4 is a paragraph from Pope's translation of Homer's Odyssey. This is a very, very tough one. It was obviously a cheap printing to begin with, using thin, poor-quality paper in a page size of 6" by 4.5", with capital letters about 1.5 mm high, a little bigger than Times New Roman size 8. Text this small really needs a higher-resolution scan. The book was falling apart when I got it, the ink was fading and flaking, and there was no point in even thinking about trying to scan it flat, so I cut the pages. To add an extra challenge, I scanned the sample with the cover open in a medium-lit room for the [300 dpi]() and [400 dpi]() scans, but closed the cover for the [600 dpi]() to show the best quality I could possibly get. (I was pleased to note that Abbyy, while recognizing the page in the [300 dpi]() and [400 dpi]() images, flashed up a suggestion that I should lower the brightness of the scan.)

This particular book was one I sporadically tried to produce, without success, on an older scanner and a bundled OCR program over a period of two years, back in 98/99. Eventually, in 2000, it was the first book processed through Charles Franks' Distributed Proofreaders site. The initial text produced by the OCR was very poor, but the human volunteers made up for it! Thanks, guys! Today, just two years later, with a better scanner and better OCR, I could have done it myself, as you will see from the best of the results of the 600 dpi scans. That's how much things have improved recently.

# Sheet Music How-To
|
||||
|
||||
The [Project Gutenberg Sheet Music Project]() is devoted to digitizing musical scores for a variety of uses. Most scores so far have been chamber music by composers such as Mozart and Beethoven. This document is to give a brief overview of what is needed to digitize a new score for the Project Gutenberg collection.
|
||||
|
||||
As for any Project Gutenberg submission, the first step is to secure a [copyright clearance](/how_to/copyright.html) US copyright laws make inclusion of items post-1922 problematic. Generally, the best bet is to use a printed score from pre-1923.
|
||||
|
||||
The choice of what software to use for digitization is up to you. There are three main contenders: Finale, Sibelius, and Lilypond. The first two are commercial software products with many features. The last is an open source project (really, a markup format) associated with several different tools. Our experience is that any can be used to create top-quality digital scores, and that each has its limitations. We have also heard about [Muscript](https://pjb.com.au/muscript/) which offers plain ASCII markup for creating scores.
|
||||
|
||||
The output formats are up to you, but we encourage all possible output formats for your digitization method. These may include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Lilypond files
|
||||
- PDF files with the "printed" score
|
||||
- MusicML
|
||||
- MIDI
|
||||
- Finale's .MUS format
|
||||
- Sibelius's .SIB format
|
||||
|
||||
There are other software choices, and other formats. When possible, consider making the separate parts available as separate files (i.e., so Violin 1 could have her own score, and Viola could have his own score).
|
||||
|
||||
If you have questions, or ideas about how to proceed, please email [music2010_AT_pglaf.org](mailto:music2010_AT_pglaf.org). Thanks for your interest in contributing to the Project Gutenberg Sheet Music Project!

## What useful programs are available for Project Gutenberg work?
|
||||
These suggestions came largely from a poll of volunteers in June, 2002. The programs listed are a summary of the programs we actually use. There are many other programs out there that can do the same jobs, so don't limit your search just to these.
|
||||
|
||||
### OCR
|
||||
These are the three main commercial packages that volunteers bought specifically for the purpose. In a few cases, people had got older versions of these bundled with their scanners.
|
||||
|
||||
|Abbyy|[http://www.abbyy.com](http://www.abbyy.com)|
|
||||
|OmniPage|[http://www.omnipage.com](http://www.omnipage.com)|
|
||||
|TextBridge|[http://www.textbridge.com](http://www.textbridge.com)|
|
||||
|
||||
These are Free Software packages. Some people who responded to the survey had tried them, but nobody had actually used them to produce a text.
|
||||
|
||||
|Clara OCR|[http://www.claraocr.org/](http://www.claraocr.org)|
|
||||
|Gocr|[http://jocr.sourceforge.net](http://jocr.sourceforge.net)|
|
||||
|
||||
This one is interesting--you can just submit your image through a web page, and the service will return OCRed text. However, the process of submission, waiting for your text, and then cutting and pasting into your document is slow.
|
||||
|
||||
|DocMorph -- a free, web-based OCR|[http://docmorph.nlm.nih.gov/docmorph/](http://docmorph.nlm.nih.gov/docmorph/)|
|
||||
|
||||
Other volunteers use various OCR software that came bundled with their scanner.
|
||||
|
||||
### Editing
|
||||
The main answers, given by more than one person, were:
|
||||
|
||||
|AbiWord|[http://www.abiword.org](http://www.abiword.org)|
|
||||
|emacs| |
|
||||
|Microsoft Word| |
|
||||
|vi| |
|
||||
|Windows WordPad| |
|
||||
|Word Perfect| |
|
||||
|
||||
Other editors mentioned included:
|
||||
|
||||
|Crisp for Windows|[http://www.crisp.demon.co.uk/](http://www.crisp.demon.co.uk)|
|
||||
|Editpad for Windows|[http://www.editpadpro.com/](http://www.editpadpro.com)|
|
||||
|Editplus for Windows|[http://editplus.com/](http://editplus.com)|
|
||||
|Foxpro 2.6 for DOS||
|
||||
|Metapad|[http://www.liquidninja.com/metapad/](http://www.liquidninja.com/metapad/)|
|
||||
|Windows Notepad|
|
||||
|
||||
Programs recommended by Apple Macintosh users included:
|
||||
|
||||
|AppleWorks|
|
||||
|BBEdit Lite|[http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit_lite.html](http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit_lite.html)|
|
||||
|Microsoft Word|
|
||||
|Nisus Writer|[http://www.nisus.com/](http://www.nisus.com/)|
|
||||
|Text-Edit Plus|[http://hometown.aol.com/tombb](http://hometown.aol.com/tombb)|
|
||||
|TextSpresso|[http://www.taylor-design.com/textspresso/](http://www.taylor-design.com/textspresso/)|
|
||||
|Add/Strip|[ftp://mirrors.aol.com/pub/info-mac/_Text_Processing/](ftp://mirrors.aol.com/pub/info-mac/_Text_Processing/)|
|
||||
|
||||
### Checking and proofing
|
||||
For spelling, most people just use the spellchecker built into their editor or word-processor. The *nix users running emacs or vi tended to use variants of the standard Unix spell command, such as ispell or aspell. Mac users have the free spelling checker Excalibur, available from <[http://www.eg.bucknell.edu/~excalibr/excalibur.html](http://www.eg.bucknell.edu/~excalibr/excalibur.html)>
|
||||
|
||||
Gutcheck <[http://gutcheck.sourceforge.net](http://gutcheck.sourceforge.net)> was used for format checking, and a few people had written some checking procedures of their own.
|
||||
|
||||
### Working with HTML
|
||||
In the survey, most volunteers preferred to handcraft their HTML using their normal editor. Those using a word processor edited the HTML as text, rather than composing a word processor file and then Saving As HTML. There was remarkable unanimity on this.
|
||||
|
||||
Specific HTML editors that were mentioned for occasional use were:
|
||||
|Mozilla Composer|[http://www.mozilla.org](http://www.mozilla.org)|
|
||||
|HTMLKit|[http://www.chami.com/html-kit/](http://www.chami.com/html-kit)|
|
||||
|HTMLPad|[http://www.intermania.com/htmlpad/](http://www.intermania.com/htmlpad/)|
|
||||
|
||||
However, not all HTML work is about editing, and the following packages were honorably mentioned for other functions. Especially important is Tidy, which is pretty much necessary for all but the most experienced people for quick HTML checking. <http://tidy.sourceforge.net> has the original, and links to versions of Tidy for Windows (Tidy-GUI) and just about all other platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
GutenMark:
|
||||
Converts Project Gutenberg texts to HTML and TeX.
|
||||
<[http://www.sandroid.org/GutenMark/](http://www.sandroid.org/GutenMark/)>
|
||||
|
||||
HTMSTRIP by Bruce Guthrie:
|
||||
MS-DOS. Converts HTML to text
|
||||
<[http://users.erols.com/waynesof/bruce.htm](http://users.erols.com/waynesof/bruce.htm)>
|
||||
|
||||
Lynx (lynx --dump):
|
||||

|
||||
<[http://lynx.browser.org/](http://lynx.browser.org/)>
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
<[http://tidy.sourceforge.net](http://tidy.sourceforge.net)>
|
||||
|

|
||||
Converts HTML to plain text.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
W3C Validator (web-based):
|
||||
The Last Word on the correctness of HTML.
|
||||
<[http://validator.w3.org](http://validator.w3.org)>
|
||||

||||
wget:
|
||||
A very neat utility for getting web pages
|
||||
<[http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/](http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/)>
|
||||
|
||||
### Working with images
|
||||
There are two main applications of images in PG--images to be used within texts, like illustrations in HTML, and the management of page images for scanning. These packages are used by volunteers variously for both of those purposes. Their typical use within PG is indicated. "Advanced image processing" packages will permit you to edit and restore damaged images, but for PG work, we mostly just need to manage, convert, resize and crop them.
|

||||
## What programs could I write to help with PG work?
|
||||
Look at the programs listed above. Can you write a better version of any of them? Improving OCR and editors constitutes a major challenge, unless you're a world-class expert, but checking and reformatting texts is an area not addressed by large scale programs, and you might contribute there.
|
||||
|
||||
At the risk of sounding facetious, the very best thing you can do is figure out ways that more programming can help Project Gutenberg!
|
||||
|
||||
A lot of programmers work on PG books, and anything easy has probably already been done. The challenge for programmers who want to write something that will help to produce etexts is not in writing the code; it's in identifying ways that programs can help.
|
||||
|
||||
Whatever you do, don't just hang around waiting for someone to ask you to write something, because that's not going to happen. Think up a project, ask volunteers if they would use it, and dig in! Better still, produce a few etexts yourself, using the existing tools, and get a feel for the kinds of problems that new software could help with.
|
||||
|
||||
You can join gutvol-p, our mailing list for programmers, to discuss this with other programmers.

MIDDLETON'S RESOLVE
|

|

|

"I shall go down to Wokingham", said Middleton, "a few days
|
||||
before the election, and the Major will stay here. I
|
||||
understand that there will be no other candidate, and _I_
|
||||
shall take the seat.
|
||||
|
||||
"The Major is a . . . _flaneur_. He has no interest beyond
|
||||
his own advancement. I can buy him for a hundred pounds.
|
||||
_Here_ is his answer."
|
||||
|
||||
Wallace wondered at the _hubris_ of his friend, and
|
||||
examined the note Middleton thrust upon him.
|
||||
|
||||
"Sir,
|
||||
No consideration would induce me to
|
||||
change my resolve in this matter, but I am
|
||||
willing to engage your services as my agent
|
||||
for a fee of 100 pounds.
|
||||
H. Middleton"

saw to it that they remained undisturbed--he laid out their
|
||||
plan of campaign.
|
||||
|
||||
"That d---l Middleton shall not have the seat," he raved,

"not for Lord H------; no, nor for a hundred Lords! We
|
||||
shall see to it that every man's hand is turned against
|
||||
him when he arrives."

on the table. "Here are the expenses we should undertake."

<h2>CHAPTER III</h2>
|

|
||||
<h2>MIDDLETON'S RESOLVE</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"I shall go down to Wokingham", said Middleton, "a few days
|
||||
before the election, and the Major will stay here. I
|
||||
understand that there will be no other candidate, and <i>I</i>
|
||||
shall take the seat.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"The Major is a . . . <i>flâneur</i>. He has no interest beyond
|
||||
his own advancement. I can buy him for a hundred pounds.
|
||||
<i>Here</i> is his answer."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Wallace wondered at the <i>hubris</i> of his friend, and
|
||||
examined the note Middleton thrust upon him.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"Sir,<br>
|
||||
No consideration would induce me to
|
||||
change my resolve in this matter, but I am
|
||||
willing to engage your services as my agent
|
||||
for a fee of £100.<br>
|
||||
H. Middleton"</p>

<h2>CHAPTER IV</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>THE ELECTION</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> Now hatred is by far the longest pleasure;<br>
|
||||
Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.<br>
|
||||
---- BYRON</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>On hearing of Middleton's visit, Mr. Wentworth began his
|
||||
preparations. Meeting with Thomas Lake and Riley at the
|
||||
back of the tap-room of The Bull & Gate—where the landlord
|
||||
saw to it that they remained undisturbed—he laid out their
|
||||
plan of campaign.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"That d---l Middleton shall not have the seat," he raved,
|
||||
"not for Lord H———; no, nor for a hundred Lords! We
|
||||
shall see to it that every man's hand is turned against
|
||||
him when he arrives."</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Lake unfolded a paper from his vest-pocket and smoothed it
|
||||
on the table. "Here are the expenses we should undertake."<br>
|
||||
Doran £13 10s.<br>
|
||||
Titwell £ 8 7s. 6d.<br>
|
||||
St. Charles £25<br>
