[Denemo-devel] Transcribing sheet music from pdf files (description does not fit)

These commands are hidden, right clicking in the Movements menu you can
find them (now in a submenu "Capture") however unless you have a version
of Denemo built with GTK2 the commands are not available.
As it says at the start of that tutorial on denemo.org:

"The section below shows how to capture images of measures from an
original and attach them to a score. For many uses a new facility
providing links to the original will be preferred. For that option see
the menu item File→Open-→Open Source for Transcribing."

Only the Apple Mac binary is still built with GTK2, so this facility is
not widely available; it would be possible to code it for GTK3, but the
new facility is so much more useful that it probably will just be
dropped. There is a video demo of using a source for transcribing

I'll update the website - thank you for drawing attention to this.
