Useful feature?

• Apr 15, 2020 - 09:14

I wonder if could be possible (or a good idea) to add a feature: export a score to PDF with the .mp3 export included/embedded.
Why? Because emailing a private score (pdf)-file to someone with the score-sound included seems appealing to me! (And I do not want to buy Acrobat Pro to achieve this!) And yes, I know multiple other ways to share a score, but still..... Anyone else?

Is it possible to embed an MP3 in a PDF?
If so: how is that done, and how do you get it out again for playback?

I am not and expert, but, yes, it seems to be possible based on my brief “Googling”. Someone more knowledgeable than me should perhaps answer that. And how to playback?...... Any experts “out there”?

Hmm, https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/adding-multimedia-pdfs.html
So MP4, not MP3? MuseScore can't create MP4 though.

Hi again, the link you send says also that Adobe support mp3, a bit down on the page,

Ah, I see.
Question then is whether the Qt libraries we use for PDF export allow for that too

And the next question is who would be able to play it back once it's in there.
