Neither is a transposing instrument, so no transposing is needed?
And no, using a CD to create written sheet musing is not possible (not with MuseScore at least)
I don't think transposing is what you need (see JoJo's answer). If you have a viola part which you would like to be readable for violinist, simply change the clef to normal treble clef used by violin. Musescore will shift pitches of all notes to be consistent with the new clef.
In reply to I don't think transposing is… by drowo
Once you change clefs as @drowo@gmx.net suggested, you will see that everything below the G string is Red, which means a violin cannot play these notes. You need to decide how you want to make this playable on the violin. You may want to transpose it up a perfect fifth (or more), which means any other instruments played at the same time would need to be transposed also. This may cause some instruments to exceed the top of their range. You may chose to raise the entire part an octave. This may make some parts too high and difficult for some violinists to play. The final common possibility is to raise only the notes or passages that include the notes that are too low and octave so all notes can be played. This is actually what I would probably choose unless this is a solo piece and then I would probably choose to transpose the entire piece up, so the lowest note in the song is playable. I may choose to transpose the piece more than a fifth if it puts the song into a better (easier) key.
There are more than one free software to "translate" some audio wave (CD) to MIDI language. But... I know it works, almost fine, when the audio is from only one instrument. Otherwise... Not comments!!!
Up to me... I prefer to hear the song and write what I hear with MuseScore.
I hope one day (when elephants fly) there will be some better solution!!!
What do you mean by a "viola score", a work written for solo viola, or a viola part in a quartet, orchestra, or other ensemble? If it's a work for solo viola, it is meaningful and easy to transpose it a fifth up, and the fingerings will be very similar, although the performance will lack the depth and gravity which is the reason why many people choose the viola. Just click transpose, fifth up, and change the clef. But if this is a part in an ensemble, you are out of luck. The violin cannot reach the low notes of the viola, and even the simplest melodies from the score will be unplayable. Changing the clef won't do it. These are two different problems, one easily solvable, and the other not solvable.
