PDF to MusicXML, answered.
Can I convert a PDF of sheet music to MusicXML?
Yes. Opuscan reads a PDF of printed or engraved sheet music and exports standard MusicXML you can open in MuseScore, Dorico, Sibelius, Flat or any notation software.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes, as long as the notation is clear. Sharp, high-resolution scans of printed music convert most accurately. See best practices. Handwritten music and tablature aren't supported.
Is the result really editable?
Fully. MusicXML is a structured format, so every note, rhythm, lyric and dynamic comes through as editable notation, not an image. Learn how the recognition works.
