Free Pdf To Mscz Converter
Gaetan Horton
I used the converter a number of times several months ago with 100% success.
I've tried using it again, with a number of different PDF files, in the last few days and either the conversion is unsuccessful, or the output files are corrupted.
Has anything changed recently?
This utility is fantastic when it works, but I can no longer get it to work properly. Help!
MuseScore's PDF file converter service runs the Audiveris OMR (optical music recognition) application. You can try it yourself.
From their site:
Audiveris is a very fast OMR, but with limited recognition capabilities and requiring good quality scores. Its implementation is based on an iteration mechanism like that: build glyph, assign shape, check validity. If the validity check fails, we simply try another iteration. The main difficulty is of course that doing so we have no way to know if we have actually reached the best interpretation.
See:
OMR presents a very complex dilemma: How to translate the various glyphs, lines, symbols, text of notated music into a machine readable form that can then be delivered to a notation editing/playback app. I have had varying results using Audiveris (before the MuseScore converter service was available). Most issues dealt with the quality of the pdf - if either scanned, or created from a scorewriter program.

In the above link, have a look at the first (scanned) pdf image. The top of the page was not perfectly aligned to the top of the scanner glass. This makes it more difficult for any OMR to discern horizontal staff lines, vertical measure lines, note stems, beams, etc. Sometimes re-aligning the page and re-scanning works (sometimes also changing dpi settings).
It's not clear to me what you are telling me. As I said, the first example was successful, the second resulted in a corrupted .mscz file and the third didn't work at all. (The last two examples were taken from .pdf files in the IMSLP library).
Is there anything I can do to get these into .mscz format?

But, I agree it should read (as Jojo suggests):
When the online convertor fails, there is not much we can do from our end.
Which means:
The MuseScore online pdf converter service is a one shot deal. It either works, or it doesn't.
I have used Audiveris in the past, and I don't mean the online converter. The app produces initially what it thinks is its best interpretation, but then allows the user to fine tune the recognition parameters to produce successively better results. For a small score, if not recognized initially (or after one or two tweaks), one's time may be better spent entering the notation directly into MuseScore. For a large score, it may be worthwhile to tweak all the relevant OMR parameters to finally obtain something worthwhile. Sometimes it's just getting the staves recognized, or fixing a few dotted notes - e.g. where the dots are barely visible in the original pdf scan. Other times, entering the score directly into MuseScore could be quicker.
I have a current project which is completed, however sometime in development the file was corrupted. I opened the mscz as a zip and found an archived version stored as a mscx file, so that is the version I am using. However, this version can't be uploaded to musescore. Is there a way to directly copy over or will I have to make a new mscz and put everything in again (this would not be too hard, but with the amount of time signature changes, tempo changes, etc that don't get copied it would be a bit of a hassle)?

Synthesizer V fails to import MIDI output of MuseScore, in terms of importing Lyrics and Dynamics, automatically adjusting Time Signature (i.e., 4/4, 3/4, etc.) changes. It had been explained that the reason is that how to include Lyrics in MIDI is not defined in MIDI standard, for example. However, knowing how Lyrics (and other elements, like Dynamics and Time Signatures) are included in MuseScore produced MIDI, it was demonstrated tat it is possible to convert the .mscz file automatically to .s5p by using a Python script. (MuseScore to SynthV - YouTube). It means that it may be possible to equip Synthesizer V to directly import .mscz file into Synthesizer V. Since the script in the above link seems to be for Japanese only, I am more interested in a feature for automatic language detection for Lyrics import. Also, compared to Vocaloid, Synthesizer V AIs are limited. I hope that the future AIs can handle more languages or more AIs that can handle other languages other than English, Japanese, Chinese.
I have been working on this, and am now experimenting with offline text converters and programming them to automatically convert MIDI / XML lyrics to Synth-V format, and also to add + to words in a text file (like from the the internet) and will post these convertors when I have them perfected.
So I have a punch of PDF music, but I want to arrange for my school's jazz band. They are very long, so doing it by had would take months. I have tried the pdf to .mscz converter musescore has, but it always ruins the music. Thank you!
Every guide I found included exporting my file from Finale as a .xml, but I do not have access to Finale since it was on my school computer. Is there a way I can convert a .musx file directly to .mscz or to .xml without Finale?

As far as we can tell, MuseScore music notation software should support import of Guitar Pro files (such as .gp5) just fine and nothing should prevent you from convert gp5 to mscz or any other supported music sheet format or similar file.
