No file at hand? (Clementi, Sonatina op. 36 no. 1, stored as two parts).
How it works
The tool cuts the score down to the part you choose: the other parts and their entries in the part list go, and so do the brackets that grouped them. The full score's line and page breaks and its spacing go too, as they were set for all the staves together; your notation program lays the part out anew. Notes, dynamics, lyrics, the title and everything else in the part stay exactly as they were.
The PDF is engraved by OpenSheetMusicDisplay (OSMD), the MusicXML renderer we maintain, which combines measures of rest into one multi-measure rest, as a printed part has them.
Questions
Is my file uploaded?
No. The part is extracted and engraved in your browser, and the file never leaves your computer.
Can I get all the parts at once?
Yes: "Download every part" packs each part as a file of its own into one ZIP, in the format you chose. The PDFs are made one part at a time.
Why does a piano part come out as two parts?
Some programs store a piano's two staves as two parts, as the sample does. The tool keeps the parts the file has; to print both staves together, use MusicXML and MXL to PDF and leave out the other instruments there.
Is the extracted file valid MusicXML?
If the score was, yes: the part keeps its own elements untouched. You can check it with the MusicXML Validator, which tests it against the MusicXML 4.0 schema.
