A bundle was a one-way trip. The slice images are output and the cuts
that produced them lived only in the producer's own project file, so a
bundle someone handed you meant cutting the score again from scratch.
The manifest now carries the geometry, in a `source` block: per page the
cut polylines, skew, levels and content rectangle, all in normalised
coordinates so they survive any render resolution, and per slice the page
and slot it came from. Discards are stated by omission — a slot no slice
claims was discarded — since shipping a discarded slice's image would
defeat discarding it.
`noteman-slicer open song.zip` unpacks the archived PDF, rebuilds the
project from that geometry, restores markers, engravings and the title
block, and opens the editor. Jump destinations go back from an array
index to the (page, slot) the editor works in. The images in the zip are
discarded: the PDF is what the pipeline renders from. Re-exporting a
reopened bundle reproduces its manifest exactly. It refuses to overwrite
a PDF or project file already sitting there, because the obvious place to
unpack is where someone's unfinished cuts live.
Separately, every slice can now carry the measure it starts at, not just
a re-engraved one — a scanned system is numbered in the score the same
way, and noteman wants to answer "take it from bar 33" about either. It
moves off the replacement onto the page, alongside markers and discards,
and out of the bundle's engraving object onto the slice.
Olukainen juomukainen came out unusable, from two separate faults.
The scanner left a dark line down the sheet edge, running the full height
of every page but the first. Being taller than any bracket it won every
overlap in anchor selection and swallowed the page into one system, so
five pages of six proposed no cuts at all. A page's brackets and barlines
are all about one system tall, so a stroke far taller than the typical
one is not notation — relative to the page's own strokes, since a page
holding one big system is legitimate.
The trim then removed each system's bottom line of lyrics. It judged ink
blobs by area, and a letter is nowhere near the threshold; a whole line
of them is dozens of blobs, none of which qualifies. Measure ink per row
and per column instead — a line of text carries plenty in total, and a
fleck's row carries almost none, which is the case the filter was for.
Detection now finds three systems on every page of that score, and every
slice keeps all four voices' words.
Re-engraving is a rescue path for the handful of systems a scan cannot
deliver, so the window is an editing surface rather than an automation
project. Three full-width rows - the scanned system, the render, the
form - because a system is wide and short and the job is comparing one
against the other bar by bar. The render is shown scaled to the scan's
staff height, which is what export does anyway, so it previews the real
thing.
A form rather than a text box. Key and time are slice-level, clef,
notes and lyrics per voice: every staff in a system carries the same key
signature, and Kaipaava proves it across five-staff and two-staff
systems alike. Notes and lyrics stay raw LilyPond, so slurs, dynamics,
tuplets and the laissezVibrer/repeatTie idiom for ties crossing into the
next slice all work untouched.
Notes are entered in \relative mode, referenced to the middle of each
clef's staff, so a part needs no octave marks at all in the common case.
The time signature is used for spacing and bar checks but not printed:
the printed score repeats the key at every system and the time only at
the first, so a re-engraved middle slice showing one would stand out.
Seeded from what can be known reliably. Voice count comes from counting
staves in the slice; key, time and clefs are inherited from the song,
because the slices being re-engraved are the illegible ones and reading
a key signature off them is exactly the measurement that fails. After
the first replacement in a song only the notes need typing.
Staff counting needed two corrections against the corpus: compare gaps
against line spacing rather than staff height, since adjacent staves can
sit closer together than one staff is tall; and require five lines in a
group, since Engel's 'uh______' lyric extenders are long horizontal runs
too and each counted as a staff. Kaipaava now reads 2,2,2,2,5 on page 1,
Ketun 6, Engel 4.
Also in this change:
- Title is required for export, every other metadata field optional,
enforced in bundle.write so the CLI and the editor both get it. Tempo
added; noteman already has a free-form column for it.
- The panel is a splitter rather than a fixed width, sections collapse
under bold grey disclosure headers, and it scrolls.
- A re-engraved slice is washed amber with an ENGRAVED badge, and
markers get badges too. Thin coloured text was invisible against a
scan.

Project state plus PDF in, finished slice images out. Slices are cut as
polygons rather than row ranges, so a stepped cut yields a slice with a
transparent notch instead of one that covers its neighbour.
Masking paints white, which the ink-to-alpha step turns into full
transparency — the same outcome the spec asks for, one step earlier.
Scale normalises every slice to the median staff height before fitting
the song to 1920px, so a rescanned page sits at the same note size as
its neighbours. The cap only ever shrinks: a song narrower than 1920
stays narrower.
Alpha quantisation rounds to 16 values spanning 0-255 inclusive.
Flooring, as first written, capped full ink at 240 and left every note
6% transparent — caught by decoding an exported slice rather than by
reading the code.
Ketun joululaulu exports 24 slices at a uniform 1489px, under the cap
and correctly not upscaled from its 200 DPI source; Feliz Navidad 20;
Elaman nalka 18.
