• ScoreAffiche Update

    From Jean-Michel@3:633/10 to All on Monday, October 20, 2025 10:33:56
    Hi,

    For those who don't know, it's a small application that allows you to view
    two pages of a score side by side (the pages are in draw format)

    The update is in the display rendering, which uses the current screen configuration.
    I use it with a 2560x1440 screen.

    I would like to know if the rendering is correct on other screen sizes,
    thank you.

    For testing ScoreAff:

    I downloaded version 0.05, extracted it from the archive and
    double-clicked on the application. It loaded to the iconbar, but as
    soon as I clicked on the iconbar icon it gave the error "Exception
    inattendue main: PMS.Rhap4M font not found" and locked the computer. I
    had to switch off the power to restart the machine.

    I tried again after the reboot but got the same result and had to power
    down a second time.

    Thanks for the tests, the Draw files come directly from Rhapsody's Draw
    esport and therefore certainly use its fonts.

    To do this well you would have to be font independent. This is possible by printing the score with !PrintPdf.

    Then an export drawfile, the generated files are to be copied into the
    score directory, ScoreAff uses the same denomination.On the other hand,
    the files are bigger.
    I uploaded a score driectory containing the Draw files from printPDF. this allows testing without problems (same link)It must be put in place of the
    one present in the application.
    On the other hand, I will correct the error message, this should not block
    the computer, it is information coming from Draw.

    If you manage to display the score, I would like a screenshot with the comparison between what Draw displays on your screen and ScoreAff
    Thanks again for the tests, this allows us to move forward.

    I fixed the problem where the application was blocking and using Draw
    files without external fonts.

    Bonjour,

    New version (0.06) which should work on all screens, SpecialFx
    recommended. Thank you for testing.

    http://jeanmichelb.riscos.fr/AppliTBox/AppliToolBox.html#Score_Affiche

    Draw pages are font independent,( printed in a PDF file).
    Risc OS allows you to zip these pages.
    The program can also be used from any pages exported as draw from !PDF

    Feedback are welcome
    Thanks.

    I've now tried downloading it again - this time it seems to work (with a
    set of random Drawfiles exported from a PDF; they displayed instantly
    despite containing multi-megabyte sprites)

    However, it wasn't until I looked at the Help file that I realised there
    were supposed to be action buttons at the bottom of the window!
    While it displays on my screen (current resolution 1600x900) the buttons
    are not visible unless I scroll down manually.
    (I was just using the left and right arrow keys to navigate without even realising that there were supposed to be navigation icons; this
    indicates a good choice of user interface at any rate.) :-)

    Thanks to Risc OS which has the good features, and to you also for the
    tests

    However, it wasn't until I looked at the Help file that I realised there
    were supposed to be action buttons at the bottom of the window!
    While it displays on my screen (current resolution 1600x900) the buttons

    Indeed, I have just done the tests with another CM4 using a 1600x900
    display and the window is a little too large in height, you can barely see
    the top of the buttons.
    I made my settings thinking that you had a 1680x1050 screen, I could make adjustments.

    Quick question is 1600x900 the "native" mode of your screen?
    the best resolution is when you light up only one point at a time on the screen. I find the other modes 'blurry'

    Thank you for completing my explanation for the program extract in Basic,
    the results are interesting, for comparison with an Rpi CM4

    Sound system has 9 sample rates available
    Index 1 rate 8000 Hz
    Index 2 rate 11025 Hz
    Index 3 rate 12000 Hz
    Index 4 rate 16000 Hz
    Index 5 rate 22050 Hz
    Index 6 rate 24000 Hz
    Index 7 rate 32000 Hz
    Index 8 rate 44100 Hz
    Index 9 rate 48000 Hz

    This must be different with RPCEmu.

    Meilleurs voeux pour cette ann?e et bonne Musique.

    I don't know how to tell. All my backdrops are 1600x900, so that is
    what I use. :-)

    I have just increased the resolution to 1920 x 1080, and that doesn't
    look any more 'blurry', although of course everything on the screen is
    smaller. The monitor doesn't appear to support anything larger than
    that.
    If I change down to 1280 x 600, that does make the anti-aliased text
    look a bit blurred (although the system/bitmap font being used in
    Messenger Pro is fine!)

    But in principle an application surely shouldn't be making any
    assumptions about the size of the screen display, although if you have a
    fixed toolbar that is too wide to fit the width of the current screen
    mode that is a problem....

    I think this is the right resolution to use, it's good to have a big
    desktop.!
    Unlike other OSes, you can have several windows side by side. This is good
    for correcting Rahpsody scores after using SharpEye, with the original
    image

    Yes, but the goal is to display an entire A4 page of the PDF file or
    score. The lower size rendering is less good.

    Recently I subscribed to ArchiveMag, and I use Score Poster to read it
    after extracting the pages in draw format, it's quick and comfortable for
    the eyes. What the software can't do is links, it's just a rendering of a drawing.
    Using draw files, around fifty for the magazine, the directory score
    reaches almost 80 MB, Draw files contain images and text is drawn.
    I can use !Squash , but !Draw doesn't open it directly. We reduce the file size by two.

    May be considering changing the name of the app.
    "2 page viewer", no idea.

    Thanks for test(s).
