Detailed markup

Click on any of the following thumbnails to view a 10000-line section of the roll with automatic markup overlaid onto the original scan. Image resolutions are not reduced from 300 dpi, but lossy compression is added. Each file is approximately 18 MB. The number above each segment is the starting position in feet of the section from the beginning of the full scan.

Graphic syntax of the markup:

  • The margins of various sections of the roll are each given a different color (preleader, leader, post-leader, music, post-music).
  • In the music section, the hard margins are medium blue, and the soft margins are in a darker blue color. Hard meaning the roll never enters these columns in the image, and soft meaning that the roll will wander into those columns (or there is an edge tear jutting out into those columns).
  • Vertical lines on the roll indicate estimated tracker bar centers. Dashed vertical lines mean that no holes are present at that position. Green lines indicate the bass register, and light blue lines indicate the treble register (the boundary between the two registers is currently only an estimate). Snake-bite track lines and holes are colored in red.
  • Musical holes are colored in light blue, while problematic holes are colored in pink if they have a bad shape, light pink if they are too small, or green if they are too short (often due to incomplete hole punching).
  • Musical holes have a bounding box around them. The leading edge of the box is yellow if this is the start of a note attack (or "expression" attack), or orange if a continuation of a note/expression. The bass side of the box is orange and the treble/trailing side is red.
  • Tears on the roll margins are highlighted in magenta.
  • A horizontal dotted yellow line is extended across the paper at the start of each note attack. Solid horizontal red lines indicate operator shifts to the right, and solid orange lines are shifts to the left. Musical holes are given a lighter blue color when the shape of the hole is affected by a shift.

Left/Right Drift

The following plot shows the drift of the roll from left to right as it is scanned. The total drift range is 49.5 pixels (0.164 in., 4.2 mm). Notice that this amount of shift is unusually large, so either there is a tear extending into the soft margin causing the large range, or the holes are wandering more than one tracker bar position (33.5082 pixels) to the left/right during the length of the roll (which would cause incorrect notes on a physical player piano).

Arrows indicate when the scanner operator shifts the roll left/right, with red arrows being a shift to the right and orange to the left. The amount of the shift is equal to the length of the arrows (which is on the same scale as the y-axis). Click on the plot to activate display of cursor coordinates if you want to read the position of features in the plot precisely.

Three Left/Right Shifts

Here is a list of operator-generated left/right shifts found on the roll. These are shown as arrows in the drift plot above (with the larger arrows representing larger shifts). A shift is defined as a parallel motion of the two edges of the paper that is larger than 1/100th of an inch (3 pixels) within the timespan of 1/3 of an inch (100 pixels) along the length of the roll.

Positive movement values are shifts to the right, and marked with a horizontal red line in the marked-up images. Negative movement values are shifts to the left and marked by horizontal orange lines. The list of shifts are sorted by the size of the movement from largest to smallest. Shifts greater than 20 pixels (about 1/16 of an inch) should be disqualifying for the scan (i.e., the roll should be rescanned). Preferably shifts should be less than 10 pixels. Observe the "soft" margins on each side of the roll. If there is sufficient blue-colored margins before the shift (top of extracted images), then the shift was likely not necessary. In such cases the operator was reacting too late or over-compensating (or some other reason) as the paper was not likely rubbing on the edge of the take-up/feeder spool flanges in these cases.

Three Suspicious Holes (sorted by area)

Pink highlighted holes have an irregular shape and are often likely to be non-musical holes. Such holes are allowed to continue a note, but are not allowed to start a note in the automatic markup algorithms. Green highlighted holes have a bad aspect ratio (they are wider than taller), but some of these may be legitimate holes. This roll also contains 173 holes smaller than 50 pixels (0.6 mm2). They are unlikely to be musical holes and are not given in the following list.
