Thanx Shoichi - You know this is an awful lot of work I'm having to do, just to produce a songbook. I have my melodies and lyrics arranged in scores. All I need is to number the pages. Can I do this the easy way?
A little work you will, anyhow.
- You can use the Album feature;
- You can export each score as PDF (File / Export), prepare text pages (with Word or LibreOffice), and merge it all together with, for example, PDFsam (free).
Exporting a PNG from MuseScore is dead simple - File / Export, choose PNG.
Importing a PNG into Word is dead simple - Insert / Image (I think that's the menu command, might be slightly different), select the image you saved.
Producing a songbook using Word is extremely easy, just repeat those two steps for each song. Not sure what you are having trouble with exactly - could you be more specific?
Or, just produce the songbook within MuseScore. You can use the Album feature - despite some limitations when trying to do more complex things, it works just fine for basic songbooks. or simply create the songbook as one big score in the first place.
Besides copying and pasting images of the score, you may also import attachments that the reader can click and view.
Those attachments can be your score in PDF format, or you may attach a video generated by MuseScore(.com).
To attach one of these objects, do the following:
1. Open a document in Word, click the "Insert" tab and then click "Object" in the Text group.
2. Click the "Create From File" tab, and click "Browse."
Select the video or PDF file on your hard disk and click "Open."
Click "OK" to insert the video into the Word document.

No. But you can export to PDF, PNG, SVG and import that into a Word document
I am having trouble importing to Word. It's in a foreign language and I can't find export. No other way to do this?

Word uses the term insert for importing a file.

I just searched for Album Feature and got a number of threads complaining about problems with it.

An old album (2014) made with the old version. It needs just a little patience...

That's looking alright. I think I'm short on sleep, if I sound crabby.

Lots of options here.

OK. Maybe I'm just out of it today. I'm still new at MS.
