I'm also cropping more than "aggressive crop". Is it possible to define the distance from the stave (or from the edge) by user?
I'm producing my own sheets so the measurements are always constant. But I always need to crop more in manual mode.

The aggressive crop option is more aggressive in dealing with noise. It doesn't mean that it will necessarily result in smaller margins around the edge of the score than the standard auto-crop, especially if your document has no noise on the edges. There is currently always a margin of 8 dip (density-independent pixels), which can translate into 20 pixels on a higher resolution device such as the Samsung Tab S4 (20 pixels in the scaled image, not in the raw PDF page size). I'm not opposed to adding an option to control this margin.

I agree that user margin control would be great. (I might have suggested something similar way back, IIRC).
I additionally suggest an option to control even and odd pages (of scanned books) differently.

So you would want margin settings for both even and odd pages?

Well, I think so.
My original request was to be able to apply a manual crop for one page for all the other pages in a book but. But since due to uneven scanning of some sheet music books I expanded that to difference between even and odd pages.
So you actually have 2 individual manual crops that can be applied to the even and odd pages respectively.
I thought this would make sense for a margin control as well.

So, Mike, would you be able to add this feature - the ability to specify how much margin to use on each of the four sides?
Thanks for all you do.

Yes, I will be able to add that feature at some point. I'm not sure when I will work on it though. I may try to slip it in an update over the next month or two, depending on when the next update is required. Other than critical bug fixes, I'm going to be trying to focus my energy on completing the iOS version next, as I have a huge number of users waiting for that. Once that is completed, I'm going to have more bandwidth to quickly implement enhancements.

Another idea for cropping which probably is a bit more difficult to implement.
Anyway, there are sometimes scans where the scanner didn't scan single but only the double pages.
So far it was a lot of manual work either to make that into single pages with a PDF editor or "duplicate" the pages
and crop the left and right page respectively to display it as single pages.
Do you think it is possible to make a "double crop" for such pages (prefereably with the margins option) and MSP can recognize and
display the cropped left and right pages as single pages?
Just a thought.
