Add pages to OMR

[olizam]

I have used Audiveris to process some songs from this Album de danses 1913 (IMSLP) through the Linux CLI. Now, I need to add more songs to process by Audiveris from CLI on the same album. For instance, I have already used Audiveris to process song #1 (p.2 - p4), #5 (p.14 - p.17), etc. Now, I want Audiveris to process song #6 (p.18-20). The question is is there a way to tell Audiveris not to overwrite but just add to the existing / already processed songs?

@olizam
You can select the sheets to process, for instance 2-4 for your first song, out of the input .pdf file, this will provide a .omr file with:

• a sheet stub for every sheet that exists in the input file
• sheet 2 processed
• sheet 3 processed
• sheet 4 processed

Doing the same thing for say the sheets 18-20 out of the .pdf file would overwrite the existing .omr file.

So, instead of taking the .pdf file as input, you should take the .omr file itself as input.
The reason is that a .omr file keeps the path to the input .pdf file, plus it already knows about the existence of all sheets in that .pdf file)
