From PDF file to editable file

• Jul 30, 2023 - 06:20

I want to digitize the PDF file into an editable format and transpose it from in C to in B♭. This is my final goal. First, I searched for a way to digitize the PDF file using musescore, and I found the following explanation.

To import a PDF file, launch musescore and select “Import PDF” from the “File” menu.
This will take you to a dedicated site for uploading. You upload your PDF file here.
Once you press “Download”, you will be able to download the score that has been converted to a format that can be edited in Musescore.

I have tried it. But after going to the dedicated site, I could not go further.

https://musescore.com/import

It means that even pressing "Select PDF" and double clicking the PDF file, it does not show the file for downloading.

Can anyone help me with this?

You could install he free version of Audiveris on your computer or you could post the PDF file here for someone to have a look at it but the odds are you will be quicker entering the score manually into MuseScore.

It's not an instantaneous conversion for downloading.
You will be notified via email when the conversion yields some result, good or bad.
After processing, you can download your converted PDF files on this page:

I recognised in my browser the same problem. The "download" link doesn't appear.
Try reloading the page in the browser. For me, that showed the link.

I used to be able to convert my PDF files to MuseScore but now the "Select PDF" button does not work anymore. Nothing happens when I clicked on it.

Hi all! I would like to share an excellent online service that recently helped me with converting PDF to TIFF format. I used https://pdfflex.com/pdf-to-tiff and was very pleased with the result. The service is easy to use, conversion is fast and the image quality is high. Plus, it's an online tool, so there's no need to download any software.

Just did this using the new Musescore 4.2.1, and it worked perfectly. The playback is wonky but I can now edit the song. Thanks Musescore :)
