Import PDF - missed time signature
I imported a PDF using the online converter. Notewise, it was quite successful but the piece is in 12/8 and it missed the time signature at the beginning so everything appears to be in 4/4 with overlength bars indicated by +. When I attempt to add the correct time signature it refuses saying "cannot split tuplet". Is there any way to recover from this simple problem without rewriting the entire piece?

Hard to say without seeing the score - if you attach it, we can understand and assist better.
I imported a PDF using the - still experimental - import function of Musescore Musescore today, for the very first time. It was a clearly readable score (produced by someone else as a PDF export from I believe Finale).
There certainly is still a lot of enhancement work; but it did produce a somewhat usable initial score which absolutely needs verification and correction to be of real use. Still, I am impressed with what it is already able to deliver. My findings:
- score header / title / subtitle are not imported
- key and time signature correct
- BPM is wrong (120 instead of 105)
- here and there a wrong note is put (si vs do)
- here and there a legato bow line is not imported
- lyrics are not imported at all
- label fields are not imported (Chorus, Pre Chorus, Verse; chord names)
- the foot text is not imported
