Can Musescore PLAY pdf files? If not, what can?

[MuseScoreHowTo]

@zmanofwar3 MuseScore can't play pdf files, but you can use music scanning software to convert the pdf into a format that MuseScore can read (such as Music XML or MIDI). Photoscore is one example of music scanning software but I'm sure there are others too.

This video is corrupted. The second half of it won't play.

[MuseScoreHowTo]

@KareemMakk It could have been a temporary issue. The video plays ok for me.

Im having some trouble with the page backround. How do i set it to the normal blank page instead of the tan page. I am using windows seven.

[MuseScoreHowTo]

@Mrmusicmaster88 You can change the page background in MuseScore's Preferences. I'm on a Mac so it's in the Musescore menu, but I think on a PC it's under Edit > Preferences. Click on the Canvas tab and then under Notesheet, choose Colour. Select the colour (I just use good old white!), click Apply and then OK.

@edosmartacwarlarsh i think you try it and if it works, what your computer warned you about will be irrelevant...

[slashundone]

Honestly the BEST (I mean the number 1) free PROGRAM out there... Many Thanks to the developers, Thank you so much...

[longtalker]

What a great software, very well writen and tremendously useful, yet free! Only occasionally do I need to make use of Guitar Pro or other paid music notation software. Thank you so much to the developers!

[edosmartacwarlarsh]
