Corrupted imported score

• Dec 18, 2024 - 00:06

I tried converting a pdf into musescore and it keeps corrupting. It isn't even close to being right and I've even tried downloading it twice. I uploaded the corrupted file just to see if anyone can figure it out. This was my first time using the import feature so I have no clue what to do.

It depends on what you're trying to convert. A pdf created from a software like MS can be converted without too many errors. In the case of a scan of a physical page, the resulting file is sometimes too much corrupted that it's better to transcribe it from scratch. Try to fix the corrupted measures (MS will show you which measures are corrupted, see the capture below) or, if it is too much work, try Audiveris.

The standalone installation of Audiveris could be better. At least you can tweak more parameters to, hopefully, improve the recognition. Also, it's also possible to correct recognition errors in Audiveris before it's opened in Musescore.

Thats being said, I've only used Audiveris with some success on single instrument pdfs. For a complete score, there are simply too many errors. In particular staffs where two instruments are noted as two voices (Ob. 1/2, Clar. 1/2 etc.) are problematic.

By the way, we play, among others, Finlandia in our concert the coming Saturday.
