Joplin, Barbershop, .PDFs, PhotoScore, Acrobat, and BBS tags:

Has anybody a score from which Joplin sang in Barbershop?

I tried Ghostview, but resorted to Acrobat proper. I have found that
when companies say that they emulate another product, it is best to
get the other product.

I have Sibelius 2 and PhotoScore. Sibelius 2 does not handle lyrics
nearly so well as NoteWorthy Composer does; lyrics are now passable
as part of the MIDI standard. Each musical voice gets up to 8
lyrical lines in Composer. Sibelius 2 is nice for working with
scores produced by others. PhotoScore usually demands so much
proofing and corrections that I wish I had just keyed the piece into
Composer in the first place, so I rarely use PhotoScore anymore.

If anybody puts any of those or other Barbershop songs into JI,
Pythagorean, or any other interesting tuning, please post the results.

Thanks,

Steve

as i said, i have scores of his songs, but they are
all published in piano/vocal format. none of them
were published in actual barbershop quartet format.
but it's fairly easy to reconstruct from the chord movement.

i'm willing to do it ... it's just a matter of
when i can find the time.

I plan on looking into it; I'm awaiting a report from Manuel on why
my scanned midi file did not get along with Scala.

I found it. There was a bug in the processing of time signature
statements. So, to work around it in the mean time, you need to delete
all "timesig" statements from the generated seq file.
