Questions
PDF to MusicXML, explained.
Why MusicXML and not MIDI?
MusicXML preserves notation — slurs, dynamics, articulation, beaming — while MIDI only stores pitches and timing. For editing and printing, MusicXML is the format you want; MIDI can always be derived from it.
Which PDFs work best?
Scanned or exported PDFs of printed, monophonic single-staff parts. We measure the staff line spacing before processing: below 10 pixels we reject the file instead of guessing — re-export the PDF at a higher resolution instead.
Is it really free?
With a free account, one page a day is free. More pages come with Pro or Lifetime.
How do I open the result in MuseScore?
Download the .musicxml file and open it directly — MuseScore, Sibelius, Dorico and Finale all import MusicXML. Check the measures our ledger flagged, then transpose, edit and print as usual.
