Church liturgy

• Sep 20, 2018 - 10:07

Good morning,
I would like to add music from Musescore to the church liturgy, but the result is not as I wanted, the music bars are screen printed.
What is the right way of doing this.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your answer JoJo-Schmitz, but I think I did not explain the problem clear enough. Let me try again.
In the church liturgy I would like to add a psalm, from musescore, bars are not the problem. The way I do it is as follows, there are two ways:
I change the musescore into PDF and then enter it on my liturgy, in Word
Or I take a foto from the musescore page and enter it into the liturgy. in Word
In both cases, the liturgy text is normal, however the music is printed as screen.

Thanks for your efforts, but I'll try it again. The enclosed musescore doc, has to be incorporated in an church liturgy. I tried it in different methods, but it does not look right, either it is screened or the lines are uneven.
So what is the right way of doing it.
I could send you the final results of my tests, but only as an email. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

Looks good to me, what about it you don't like?
Only change I'd suggest is to make the barlines of the last measure of each system (but the last) invisible and set the 1st measures to get ignored by the measure count, as they are pickup measures.

I've got no idea what you mean by either it is screened or the lines are uneven, but maybe you can attach the word doc or a pdf here?

Thanks, I know the sample I send you looks good, it is a musescore element, but when you import it in the church liturgy it does not look right, it is either screened or the lines are uneven. If I can't show you the final results it will be difficult to explain. Sorry I have bothered you with this problem.
Thanks anyway for the you invested in my problem.

I don't know about Jojo, but I can't reach that address. Can't you attach here a screen (e.g. *.png) or a PDF of what you would like to get?
Use the "File attachments" option at the bottom of the page, just above the Save and Preview buttons when you're typing your post. Click on Choose a file

Edit: Maybe you should try PDFsam (free). You could export the scores as PDFs from MuseScore and insert them into your own PDF.

The best methods would be any of the following:

1) image capture on the main MuseScore toolbar, either to copy to clipboard or save as PNG/SVG

or

2) file / export, again choosing either PNG or SVG

or

3) if using LibreOffice, use the MuseScore Example Manager extension, which automates the whole process

If you use any of these methods, it should work fine, and if you have problems, it is most likely with the program you are inserting the image into, not with MuseScore.
