PDF import

It impossible to import PDF to the MuseScore.
PDF is a graphical format and it does not contain any information about notes,durations, etc.

So you can import it to Adobe Illustrator, but no to music software.

So you can continue work on you projects with MuseScore if you have sources files - midi or any other which contain musical information.

You are looking for OMR (Optical Music Recognition) software

A couple of days ago, the musescore site is offering a PDF import feature!!

Here's a discussion thread where we can share tips, tricks and experiences:

Music-to-XML is a new desktop gadget from Musitek, the publishers of SmartScore.
It converts music scores saved as PDF files to the MusicXML format, which Musescore supports for importing. Here's a link to their page:

What happens when you send it to https://musescore.com/import ?
Attached is what this does for me, so it should (have) work(ed) for you too.
It opens in MuseScore if you ignore the corruption, see https://musescore.org/en/node/54721 on how to fix that

And this it how it looks after a bit of cleanup

Wrong place to file a bug report about PDF import

https://musescore.com/import

?

See above and good luck with it
But that score is most probably better to transcribe manually (i.e. directly entered into MuseScore), shouldn't take much more than 30 minutes

Here the notes, lyrics left as an excercise to the reader ;-)

This one is far easier to be entered manualy, and a good first practise.

None needed, just go to https://musescore.com/import as mentioned further up

Hi everyone . The MuseScore app is a free program. Importing PDF as a Note is a feature we may be able to add to this software. But I don't know where to find it. Maybe some of the features we need to buy this software.
Some friends find it difficult to import PDF notes, but this ability has been incorporated into some music software for years. There are even standalone software designed to do this.
Of course, I'm still not happy with how it was recorded. I liked that everything I do on the Midi keyboard is displayed on the MuseScore. But this is not possible. We have to enter the notes manually and this will slow us down.

For this https://musescore.com/import exists since long (and gets triggered via File > Import PDF)
A better and more integrated option is currently being developed, see https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/5692

Hi, When I press the Select PDF file button, for converting PDF files, nothing happens (no reaction)
I have converted several files. Should these files be deleted? How do I do that?
Could that be the reason for my problem?
