Import MusicXML
I see a way to import PDF using the webpage. I don't see a way to import MusicXML. I'm using the free version. Is MusicXML a subscription version?
Thanks, wizards. <3

Hi, does this file end with .mxl? Maybe you have to extract it before. (with WINZIP, 7-zip etc.)

It's a MXL file, but it's not zipped. I was able to open it by searching for things other than existing scores. Thanks, Pentatonus. That's a good thing to remember for the future! <3

.mxl files are zipped.
MuseScore can open them directly though.

Hmmm. I didn't have to unzip to upload. However, it did lose it's formatting. All the notes were there, but everything was scattered far and wide.

MusicXML is not about keeping all facettes of layout, it is mainly about the content.

Good to know! We always put MusicXML into Distributed Proofreaders books with the MP3; however, I'm also advocating for PDF too. It becomes downloadable sheet music for readers who want to play the music on their own instruments.
Thanks again, Jojo. I'll go back to being vocal about how music is shared in books again. Woot Woot! <3

Add the mscz too, works only with MuseScore, but as that is free...

We've talked about that. Some postprocessors do, some don't. I think it's a wonderful addition! <3

Got it. I didn't have to unzip because MuseScore does it as part of the upload. Wonderful! Thanks again, Jojo! <3

Upload??
In reply to Upload?? by Jojo-Schmitz
Open. Sorry. I was thinking the wrong term. In my mind it was coming from someplace else and being uploaded into MuseScore. I'll correct my thinking and language. <3

So it is "import", File > Open
File > Save online, would be "upload" to musescore.com

Ah. Correct semantics. Thanks, Jojo! <3
There's no unfree version., The subscription is only for the Pro account in musescore.com, and the mobile apps, not for musescore.org and the MuseScore editor at all.
You import MusicXML simply via File > Open

Aha! I had to search beyond the existing scores that popped up. Got it! Thanks, Jojo. As always, you're the BEST! <3

No unfree version? WOW! You all are AWESOME! <3
