Misc. Notes
#755512: I apologize as to the quality of the scan of this score. I used an overhead scanner for the first time with this item (the item's pages were extremely brittle and falling apart) and one feature, the book scan correction feature in which I used incorrectly, and this caused the feature to warp the pages out of proportion, some pages I attempted to fix them manually but were taking too much time as of this message so decided to upload what I have done so far, but most pages need to be reprocessed and dewarped further. If anyone wants to try to improve this scan further, let me know as I can provide the color source scans associated with this if you would like to help fix this further. For now, I will consider this scan a work in progress, at some point I might come back to this scan to fix it up more when I have time.
