SheetMusicBinder is a small tool to rearrange pdf pages of sheet music such that flipping only is required when at rest.
The project is set up as a Visual Studio Net project. It requires
- a recent version of Visual Studio (tested with VS2022),
- the
Net desktop developmentworkload andNuGet package managercomponent from the Visual Studio installer.
After setting up your environment, build the SheetMusicBinder project in Visual Studio. It will generate build artifacts in <solutiondir>/SheetMusicBinder/build/.
You can also deploy the project with Visual Studio's Publish Wizard. It outputs an installer in <solutiondir>/deploy/ which you can use to install or update SheetMusicBinder on your machine. Please make sure to check and understand the project's license as well as those of utilized NuGet packages before distributing your build.
