Radriano:

Sorry; I should have been more specific.  In ABC2Win, you open an .abc file -I assume that's where you're starting from- it then appears in the "tune list".  Double-click on it, and it should appear on the "page list".  Double-click on that, and you should get the staff notation.  Go to "copy/paste", and select "copy page bitmap to clipboard."  You should now have a bitmap copy of the staff notation saved, which you can paste into whatever bitmap editing program you have.  (You have a scanner,so you've got at least one).  If the program lets you, go for a resolution of, say, 300 dpi to begin with.  You can now crop the image to the area you want, make any adjustments that seem necessary and save it as a .gif, which will almost certainly be 72 dpi.  Experiment a bit to see what works best; and don't forget to try it out in a browser "test page" so you can be sure it looks ok.  This should work: if it doesn't, say so and I'll try to help more!

Good luck...
