I've just been playin with Audiveris which is a well cool (showing my age her) Java app that takes a sheet music image and converts it to Midi or musicxml so someone like me who cant seem to learn to read sheet music can play scores. There are quite a few archives out there with out of copyright material available and I'd like to try converting a lot to MusicXML. I'd like to automate the downloading of the images but get rid of the detritus. I want a trainable spider that I can show the 'root' page of the collection, click on a table or ddl and set that as the repeat action, then go down to another level and get to (say composer) level, make a local directory, then click to a song, make a local directory, drill down and get the associated image(s), return to composer get next song, , back to root get next part of collection....... It occured to me something like this might also be useful for pulling prices from supermarket web sites for a comparison site as they seem to change there arrangments to try and make this difficult - 'Competition? We love it we just do everything we can to stop it...'
