Systems anchor on the vertical bracket and expand over nearby ink, per
ADR 0006. Two corrections the corpus forced:
- Expansion measures distance from the bracket, never from the growing
extent. A chaining expansion hops between the closely-stacked lines of
a title block and walks the whole way up the page — on Engel p1 it
swallowed the title into system 1 and the copyright footer into
system 3.
- Reach is 1.5 staff heights, which takes in the lyrics below the last
staff and the tempo mark and INTRO box above the first, while leaving
the title block and footer out.
Verified against the corpus. Ketun joululaulu: 2 systems per page except
p7 (3) and p12 (1), staff 48px throughout, skew -2.7 to +1.2 per page,
and p2 system 1 spans 179-1071 where its bracket is 177-994 — the
difference being the bottom voice's lyric line. Engel: 2-3 systems per
page, staff 70-72px. Elaman nalka: 3 systems per page, 0 skew, staff
118px at 600 DPI.
The overlay dump is what made both bugs visible, and stays as the tool
for diagnosing a page that comes out wrong.
Closes#4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9
The pdf module is the whole of M1 except the debug overlay, which needs
detection results to draw.
Source type is detected per PDF by looking for a page-covering image,
and is always reported for confirmation rather than applied silently
(ADR 0004). Rasters are extracted via Pixmap(doc, xref) rather than by
decoding extract_image() bytes, because MuPDF handles JBIG2 and CCITT
scans that no image library will.
Scanned pages are extracted at the embedded image's native resolution;
only vector pages are rendered, at 600 DPI. Verified against the corpus:
Elaman nalka (vector) renders 4959x7017, Ketun joululaulu (scan) loads
1653x2332, Engel (scan) 2552x3504 — and Engel's page 2 is 2480 wide
where page 1 is 2552, so scan width varies within one PDF.
tests/test_pdf.py builds its own PDFs so the check runs without corpus
files, which are copyrighted and gitignored.
Closes#1, #2, #3
Page 1 of Engel (Bosse/Partitura) has a boxed VERSE 1 label in the left
margin at the same rows as the preceding system's bass lyric line — ink
on both sides of the page throughout the band, so no horizontal line
separates them. The label belongs to system 2, the lyrics to system 1.
A cut is therefore a polyline spanning the page, two points being the
ordinary straight case. A slice bounded by a non-straight cut is not
rectangular: its image is the region's bounding box with everything
outside made transparent, which composites invisibly on the viewer's
sheet. Masking paints transparency, never white.
The handoff was written as a message to relay information; several
decisions lived only there. Split into permanent homes:
- docs/spec.md — scope, geometry model, pipeline order, detection,
levels, editor, project file, markers, bundle format, noteman's
changes, reference values
- ADR 0002 — raster only in release 1; SVG slices measured at 40x WebP
naive, 2.6x with a bounding-box cull, deferred on risk not size
- ADR 0003 — lossless WebP with levels and 16-level alpha; every lossy
option and alternative format measured larger for line art
- ADR 0004 — detection proposes, the human disposes; no unattended mode
- ADR 0005 — PyMuPDF for all PDF access, accepting AGPL
- ADR 0006 — systems are found by vertical brackets, not row-darkness
gaps, which miscount every page of a 6-voice score
Also from testing against the hardest score in the repertoire: scanned
PDFs carry their scan as an embedded image and must be extracted at
native resolution rather than re-rendered at 600 DPI, and per-page
deskew is mandatory (skew varies -2.6 to +1.2 within one PDF).
Records the outcome of the design review that reworked the original
handoff notes:
- CONTEXT.md — ubiquitous language for the slicer (slice, cut, discard,
content rectangle, trim, song scale, bundle, project, jump source)
- docs/adr/0001 — the slicer owns all image processing and the bundle is
the only channel to noteman; noteman's sharp pipeline goes away
- pyproject renamed to noteman-slicer
- .gitignore keeps scores and bundles out of the repo (copyright, size)
