As it says "Please don’t try to convert the same PDF file twice. If it doesn’t work, your PDF file isn’t compatible to the converter".

Anyway, he website gives tips and I tried, it failed. There is no way going forward with the online PDF interpreter. You could try downloading the Audiveris or other PDF " conversion" software to your PC (or Mac or whatever system you run) but I still would doubt that you would get anything useful.

"... an error occurred, how do I fix it?"

  1. Accept that the optical music recognition (OMR) offered by MuseScore with File > Import PDF is not optimised and has not been updated or improved in a long time.
  2. Either you can download Audiveris for free and install it on your own computer (Windows or Linux):
    https://audiveris.github.io/audiveris/_pages/install/binaries/
    Then you can experiment with the Audiveris settings to get better OMR results.
  3. Or you can investigate alternative free OMR systems to install on your own computer. See Wikipedia:

  4. Or you can look into the options for running a commercial OMR app on your mobile phone. See Wikipedia:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Optical_music_recognition#Mo…
  5. Or you can buy a commercial OMR application to install and run on your own computer. See Wikipedia:

The attached MusicXML file is the result of capturing your PDF with a commercial OMR app for PC (Photoscore). The file is exactly "as generated", without any post-capture corrections. Pages 12-16 are blank, as they are on the original PDF.
