Thanks, I never thought of looking there.

I have used printgf.  I don't want to shrink the image, I want to print 
with 1:1 pixel to dot, or it will get even fuzzier.  Moving it up 1/2" 
works well.

Thanks, but fax will make it fuzzier again.  Fax is 200x200 dpi.
I could also scan a library copy but I am trying to learn something.

This was www.sheetmusicarchive.net.  Their copy is the one with color, and 
150 dpi, and too long.  I found one of the 6 partitas at 
www.mutopiaproject.org, where someone freshly typeset it.  It looks much 
clearer and I bet it is a BW pdf file.  The page is centered and won't get 
chopped off.

xpdf's pdftoppm could not create three fonts, but produced a set of very 
clear page images, in 8-bit color (the default for pdftoppm) and 150 dpi 
(the default).  99.9 percent of cpu time is being used.  At 300 dpi it ran 
out of disk space on page 8.  Too many 6MB color files. Cleanup time.

pdftoppm --help suggested using -mono switch.  I tried, twice.
This looked like it worked but complained about several pages of missing 
fonts and produced a chopped off first page and then the rest of 0 length.

pdfimages is faster for files that are images but this one is not.

I would need to play the part that is already recorded from the midi file 
while recording the next voice from the piano.  Or keep very strict 
rhythm.
