• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

    Many kind regards

Not found a PDF>MusicXML so I'm trying a PDF to Music which does PDF>MIDI and a few others $49/€40/£32, there is free trial version but that only does one page but as it seems to work - (up to a point) I've paid.

The MIDI file seems to play OK but when imported to Finalé 3 staves have become 5, however it's not too drastic to edit given the original PDF so does save a lot of manual entry.

One advantage for me is that it will "play" a MIDI version of a PDF file so with the IMSLP link above an unknown work can be listened to before saving and subsequent export to notation software, not unlike viewing photos before editing.

=#'@£$@! it may sound good in theory, but seems like it's a bit too fussy over some of the IMSLP files, so back to the drawing board. Shouldn't cause problems for those who can print them out and start playing though.

:lol: ... nice collection there that is now part of my digital library of organ scores. Thanks for finding this, Mike ... it certainly will keep me busy for the time being.
