Thank you so much. I had tried it before but it appeared nothing happened, but I see now that in Full Screen the Drag File box was hidden.
Thanks again.

It didn't work for me. I spent an afternoon trying to update to MuseScore3,and it did convert the PDF into a remarkable and arresting nocturne/fantasy in ¾ time, with piano and voice. Unfortunately, it was written in 4/4 for a jazz Big Band, and I need to get the parts to someone, as our set did not get everything returned after a concert marking the end of the semester!

Wow, it did fail, but it failed spectacularly. Arresting seems to be the right term, right along with mesmerizing and bewildering.

thank you! The convertion often works BUT the new part often misses some rests and the 4/4 tempo of the bar goes wrong. Do you know how to fix the part after the conversion? I tried to fix adding rests and notes but it doesn't work, seems like it's locked.

There is no one procedure, it’s going t be a matter of measure by measure understanding what went wrong and how to use the features of MuseScore to fix it. It’s not locked, you just need to be pretty expert in advanced editing techniques to understand how to work with the sort of errors produced by those sorts of AI programs.
Generally, for people who aren’t already experts, it’s easier to skip the PDF and just enter the music normally. It takes way less time to learn basic note input than to learn the sort of advanced techniques needs to fix conversion errors.

I downloaded "Open Arms" for the piano part and tried the pdf importer/converter. It worked well until it got to some swing sections. The converted file has some added rests; I guess they're like breaths in the parts. There's a greyed "+" to these measures. I can't figure out how to delete them. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

The grey + mean: too many beats in the measure. Just select the extra rests and Ctrl Del them

Welcome, File/Import
I also use this PDF Converter (https://smallpdf.com/pdf-converter), since for me this is the most convenient way to work with such files. To study or work on different tasks with AnswerShark (https://answershark.com/) resource, this is quite enough, since this application does not take up space on the hard disk, besides, the site has a wider functionality.

That score is neither the result of a PDF import, nor a PDF, so how does it relate to this topic?

Hi, I've sent these two files to my brother to print for me. It failed to open and asked to move to PDF but I could not. How do I convert these scores to PDF?
Simply open in MuseScore and export to PDF. At leadt for the 1st file, the 2nd one is a MuseScore backup files, you'd better work a file named "A THOUSAND YEARS certa.msc", i.e. without the leading dot and trailing comma, at least you'd need to rename that trailing comma away in order for MuseScore to be able to open it.
Both scores stems from MuseScore 2.2.1 (at least have been last save with that), so in order for them to look as close as possible to how they did when last used, better use MuseScore 2.3.2 to open and export.
I just did that in the attachments...
But also exported with 3.2.3, after resetting everything to 3.x style.
In either case I think you should work on improving the layout a bit, esp. on the 1st score, to avoid those very few measures on the 3rd page and reduce the entire score to only need 2 pages.

I think chord symbols also are likely to confuse it, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it struggle with things like multimeasure rests and the change from two staves to one and then to three. So, really, quite a bit about this particular score seems problematic.

I think your files are indeed way too big. But moreover, this music is way too complicated for PDF conversion. Here is page 135 converted with two different programs. One is the MuseScore converter and the other is PhotoScore. They are both different and equally poor renditions.

for brass band
In reply to for brass band by oleksijharis
The problem here is that you asked for a PDF import of a PDF document which contains:
a) Pages 1-29: brass band with multiple instruments
b) Pages 30-44: individual parts for each instrument
If you split the PDF file to contain only pages 1-29, you should get good recognition of the music (as a full score). Then you can generate the parts after making corrections to the full score.
I use the free PDFsam Basic for splitting PDF files:

In reply to I've used the converter… by snoopeesnoop
The MuseScore PDF converter, which launches an Audiveris module, does a poor job in converting music using the tenor, mezzo soprano, or soprano clefs. Notes in the scope of these clefs are transposed badly. The conversion works okay with treble, bass and alto clefs. The error occurs irrespective of the file size or number of instruments involved or the complexity of the score. The error is consistent over a number of otherwise successful conversions.
A simple test pdf import file using clefs is attached.
Audiveris suggested that MuseScore is not using the latest version of this convertor. At their suggestion I have installed Audiveris 5.2.5. Using this I can import the test file and save it as a Music MXL file. I can load the Music MXL file using Musescore 3 or Musescore 4 and save it as a MuseScore mscz file without the errors described above.
Conclusion MuseScore is not but should be using the latest version of Audiveris.

La Cuichi - Banda Mm.pdf
In reply to [inline:La Cuichi - Banda Mm… by pepe45290
First thing I would recommend is to split the parts into separate PDF files. Then try to convert each one individually. It looks fairly clean, so you can certainly hope for good results. However, you'll then have to manually copy/paste each part into a single orchestral score to get all the parts into a single score.
Good luck!!!

It was read by the PDF Import tool, but placed notes into strange combinations of Voices. (Sometimes it placed notes into Voices 3 and/or 4 even when there were no notes in Voices 1 and/or 2.) And, as is obvious, it couldn't read the Cyrillic text. Fixing the first system took about 20-25 minutes. The lyrics will add another 5-ish minutes.
The score that the PDF Importer gave is attached. You'll have to do a fair amount of fixing and you'll have to add the lyrics. IMO, you'll probably be better off just manually inputting the music and lyrics yourself. Your choice.
In reply to It was read by the PDF… by TheHutch
Using SmartScore Pro, about 5 minutes to enter and correct, with no text or lyrics. Export as XML, open in MSS.
I completely understand that cost is a factor for many people. But, if importing PDF files is a major part of your process, I would really recommend saving up and purchasing a true music OCR program.
I had a problem with pdf import feature adding additional rests, etc., to the score. Originally today, I posted this:
I downloaded "Open Arms" for the piano part and tried the pdf importer/converter. It worked well until it got to some swing sections. The converted file has some added rests; I guess they're like breaths in the parts. There's a greyed "+" to these measures. I can't figure out how to delete them.
Here's my brute force solution:
I inserted a measure before the offending measure and copied over notes that were correct. Sometimes I'd have to add certain notes and compare to the pdf score (very well done, I might add to whoever the original sheet music transcriber is). I also had to compare and add the coda, sign, and DS. Yeah, it was laborious and took me a couple hours but it worked.

Send me the PDF. Send to wawoodman at icloud dot com, and I'll run it through SmartScore. If you do much PDF conversion, you might want to consider it. As I've said before, it's an expense. But, what were those couple of hours of your time, worth?
In reply to I had a problem with pdf… by YamamotoM018
It's also worth knowing how to fix those "+" signs. In your case, select the measure, right click and open "Measure Properties". You'll probably find that those measures are found to be 7/8. change that to 3/4 and the rests go away. In some cases you'll need to fix some notes first.

1) Why don't you open a new theme?
2) Take a closer look at measures 19 and 34 - 40. There are obviously unrecognized triplets, but I can't say for sure and I can't correct them because I don't have the PDF.
