Use of Audiveris
I have used audiveris with Musescore 2.0.2 with varying success.
I have a pdf file of Bach Chorales originally published by the Center for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities (CCARH) in 2002. It contains 185 4-part chorales for voice.
When I extract a single page (I use Corel pdf Fusion for this) and send it to Audiveris, sometimes the results are perfect but for some pages, all the beamed quavers get rendered as semiquavers (and semiquavers become demisemiquavers). There are no visible differences between the pages in the original pdf which work and those which don't. I attach a pdf which shows the problem on conversion. Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ.pdf
I have tried to upload different varieties of pdf to Audiveris (for instance using a scanner on a printed page) but usually these do not work at all.
Any advice on how to use Audiveris would be appreciated

Regarding the Bach Chorales, they are all available as MusicXML here https://github.com/cuthbertLab/music21/tree/master/music21/corpus/bach so you probably don't need Audiveris or any sort of OMR. In general, my first action when needing OMR is to see how I can avoid to use it :)
Regarding the particular problems with audiveris, I guess the best place to ask is the audiveris forum https://kenai.com/projects/audiveris/forums/message-forum

Dear Lasconic
Many thanks for your reply. Being a bit new to all this, can you tell me what OMR means?
Could you kindly help further by telling me how I can convert the mxl files in Github into a form that can be imported into Musescore?
Many thanks
Stewart

The MXL file from github can be opened by MuseScore via File > Open.
