Late reply, sorry. Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately, the
music score paper is just a bit over the normal scanner size in both
width and height. I'd either have to do 4 scans, or I'd have to scan
sideways, then do the Stitch thing, then open each resulting image and
de-rotate it.

I'll have to go with an A3 scanner just to minimize all the extra
work. Hopefully there's something better than the Mustek out there.
The thing kept crashing the OS. Flakey drivers, I'm sure.

There are better A3 scanners if you are willing to pay the price.
You can search Google for "A3 scanners" without the quotes.
There are a lot of choices, just for a lot of money.


Here is a PlusTec model.

ProAdvantage.com is a good place to shop for this type of office
equipment.

If you are looking for really large scanning, check out this site.
