<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Atkinson Hyperlegible"">Speaking as someone who reads music, I’m afraid the process of converting a PDF to a digital score is a lot like doing OCR, complete with the necessary editing after you get the digital
version.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Atkinson Hyperlegible""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Atkinson Hyperlegible"">There is a free music notation program called MuseScore that you can download,
<a href="https://musescore.org/en">https://musescore.org/en</a>. There is also a pdf-to-Musescore site that you can use to upload a PDF and create a MuseScore file,
<a href="https://musescore.com/import">https://musescore.com/import</a>. Once you’ve done that then someone who knows how to use MuseScore and reads music can edit the resulting file and export to a MusicXML file, but there probably isn’t a good way to skip
the editing step.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Atkinson Hyperlegible""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m just starting to research this for a current student. I’m wondering if anyone has converted PDF sheet music to music xml, and what your process is. I’m finding some super-easy ways (like using adobe and export to xml) that seem suspicious
because of their ease, but other more complicated ways that involve pricey software.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone done any music xml creation, and if so, what are you using and are there written instructions? I do not read music, or xml, as the case may be, so I don’t know if what I’m converting through my experiments is any good. Help please?<o:p></o:p></p>
