<div dir="ltr">MuseScore is free and open source notation software - no way to pay for it even if you wanted to. You might be thinking of the online score-sharing website <a href="http://musescore.com">musescore.com</a>, which offers both free and paid accounts, but you don't need that to use MuseScore. And if you do decide to create an account on <a href="http://musescore.com">musescore.com</a>, a free one is usually sufficient, unless you are wanting to download copyrighted music like pop sheet music.<div><br></div><div>Now, as a totally separate thing, there is an experimental service for importing PDF files - you access it via File / Import PDF, and it does go over to <a href="http://musescore.com">musescore.com</a> to run a program there. But frankly, it's not worth the effort it takes. There is almost no chance the results will be usable as is, and it usually takes a considerable amount of editing by a sighted person able to compare to the original to get it to be close. There are commercial PDF importers that do better, but still, editing by a sighted person able to compare to the original is normally needed - just maybe less of it than using the service provided by MuseScore.</div><div><br></div><div>Marc</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Jun 3, 2023 at 9:34 AM Chris Cookee via Menvi-discuss <<a href="mailto:menvi-discuss@menvi.org">menvi-discuss@menvi.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hi, Ruby. Muse Score is free to download and use. I just did a quick look<br>
at their website and google search. It appears that Muse Score does not<br>
directly import PDF files. You can import Music XML files to Muse Score, or<br>
Midi files, but you can't upload a PDF to Muse Score directly. To my<br>
understanding, you would have to first convert the PDF to XML and then load<br>
that XML file into Muse Score. <br>
<br>
I'm not sure which 3rd party applications do this. If you have the Goodfeel<br>
Suite, I wonder if Sharp Eye would do that for you, but then, you could then<br>
use Goodfeel to access that music rather than Muse Score.<br>
