On the right you would see a thumbnail image of each page of our score: remeber, with the trial version you can hear only the first page. After selecting the file to upload, the software will automatically start the process of analysis.Īt the end of the analysis, the next screen shows graphically the score that we have uploaded. At this point, again automatically, it starts the process of analysis which performs certain steps fairly fast.
In the next step the software will automatically opens the classic File Open window, to searching the pdf to convert. Just click on Try button, and you can safely use the program. After downloading, installing and starting the application, you will see a screen like this: Each time you start the program, the system asks if you have a license for the full version. Take my case: I needed to render a single page of music, exactly the minimum guaranteed by the free version! The download link can be found here. What does this mean? The XML format is executable through notation software like MuseScore, Sibelius or Finale so, for example, you can use MuseScore to modify a music sheet written with Sibelius, and vice versa. It is a very important feature, but all depends on what you need to do.
Indeed, it isn’t completely free, and the paid version has important differences. The free version allows you to render only a single page, and more importantly it not allows you to export the score in XML format. The only one who seems able to read a score and covert it in a sound is PDFtoMusic.
Unlike what I thought was not at all easy to find a free software to doing it.
