What is MusicXML?
MusicXML stores score information such as pitches, durations and measures. PDF and photos show a score’s appearance; MusicXML provides the notes an app needs to follow your playing. Notation programs can export MusicXML.
Add and open a score
Choose Add album in My library. Select one PDF or MusicXML (.xml or .musicxml), or select multiple JPG pages together. Images become one PDF in the selected order; JPG files are not stored separately in the library. Check the page order before uploading, then choose Open to view the score. Viewing originals costs no credits.
Convert a PDF for practice
Choose Convert to MusicXML on a PDF album. Albums imported from JPG use the same flow because they are stored as PDF. Review all pages, total credits and consent before requesting conversion. Compare the completed result with the original. Generated scores support viewing, practice and authorized pitch corrections; downloads are unavailable.
Correct a pitch
In the correction workspace, choose a Part and Flagged measure. Compare Original reference with Converted source. Select the note, adjust Step, Accidental and Octave, then press Save correction. Check Saved correction and repeat for other notes as needed.
Step, accidental and octave
Steps are C, D, E, F, G, A and B. ♮ means no alteration, ♯ raises one semitone and ♭ lowers one; 𝄪 and ♭♭ alter by two semitones. Increasing the octave by 1 raises a whole octave. Middle C is C·♮·4; C sharp above it is C·♯·4. The accidental value specifies the note’s chromatic alteration independently of the key signature.
Why is editing unavailable?
Uploaded MusicXML and included practice scores are read-only. Converted scores allow corrections only in measures flagged and authorized by the service. Tied notes and rests cannot be corrected. Only pitches can change; durations, meter, note count and measure order stay fixed. Use a notation program for broader edits.
Download your uploaded original
Choose the original download action for a score you uploaded yourself. PDFs download as PDF; directly uploaded MusicXML downloads as the imported original. JPG uploads download as the combined PDF. Your original PDF remains downloadable after MusicXML conversion. Service-generated or corrected scores, administrator-provided scores and included practice scores cannot be downloaded.
