Aquitanian Staff Finding Job

[DeannaLC]

I am working on the first job toward Aquitanian Pitch Finding with @fujinaga and @martha-thomae to find a center line in Salamanca Missal. Since the line isn't visible enough to be found by the computer, I plan to work off the observation that the midpoint of the text lies in the center between two lyric lines.

I am first planning to use Pixel to create 2-3 layers to try out.

1. One layer will contain the just the neumes
2. The other layer(s) will have the lyrics and the red lines
   • This can either be 1 layer with both the lyrics and the red line, or one layer with the lyrics and one with the red line

Another observation about finding the center line was that the bottom of the larger text on the other side of the page from the neumes lines up with the center line, so if needed or if this works better, it could be classified as another layer.

I am planning to reference the Staff Distance job for reference, but would also be very happy to hear any other suggestions for jobs I can use for a starting point.

Maybe you could look at the Miyao Staff Finder job. @fujinaga, @annamorphism, @JoyfulGen, @kyrieb-ekat would this be the right job for Deanna to grab inspiration for what she is implementing? She wants to extrapolate a full straight line from segments of the red lines in the lyrics (see example image).
