@mikemccaffrey @EmilyEnough there’s a related situation (without all the other downsides): I often take scans of public domain sheet music and turn them into digital musical engravings (which you can then play, print, convert into Braille music, easily arrange, etc).
In the beginning, I thought it would be easier to take a digital score of the same piece from someone else and just fix bugs and remove and add things until it represents what I need (they are often minor arrangements), even wrote a cleanup XSLT to remove hidden "gems".
Turns out that looking through what others did is just so much harder that it’s faster to type in the whole thing from scratch (and I could use someone after me to look it over for my typos anyway in both cases).
