QUOTE (Matt23 @ May 8 2009, 05:21 PM)  Recently, I started learning the lead violin part (on the guitar), of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto. I have a full score for the concerto, in PDF form, and a program called Sibelius, which is essentially, a musical notation version of Guitar Pro. I want import the PDF file into Sibelius, so I can play along with it, with the lead violin muted. I do know a program that will let you do this, but it costs £25. What I'm asking, is does anyone know a program that will let you import PDF scores into Sibelius, or convert them to MIDIs etc, that costs less than £25, or is free? Matt  Sibelius has an extension which recognises scanned notes from a page. You can open your PDF in Photoshop and save as picture then go and find that option in Sibelius and try to trace that picture. It might work. I think it's somewhere in the file menu. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

Let me know if it worked. I have never tried it but heard all the best about that option. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

I have never tried it so I can't tell but can you only pay for that extension and install with the current Sibelius?

QUOTE (Matt23 @ May 9 2009, 11:59 AM) I don't think so. It doesn't seem to work either, becuase I can take a screenshot of the PDF, open it in Photoscore, and when I try to read it to Sibelius I just get a blank score. The PDF isn't of the best quality though (image-wise). I'll try some different scores and settings and stuff and see if I can get it to work. Thanks anyway for your help Emir. PDF is actually the best quality. You can render PDF into any resolution without losing quality. PDF data is vector based (fonts, notes etc...). Of course screenshot can't be of help as its resolution is 72dpi. You need at least 300 to make it work. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

PDF enables best quality, but if the score is scanned in low res, there isn't much that can be done. Just wanted to say that sometimes it happens.. I've had some scanned material in PDF that was not very good, so it is possible that the quality is low. Possibly some free PDF creator/converter can be applied? -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

This is the quality of the PDF. Do you think it's good enough, even if I did have software to read it?
