How it works
OpenSheetMusicDisplay (OSMD), the MusicXML renderer we maintain, engraves the score on pages of the paper you choose, and jsPDF writes them into a PDF, as vector graphics that stay sharp at any size. The pages above are exactly what goes into the PDF.
The staff size sets how big the music is printed: 7 mm is a usual size for piano music, a smaller staff fits more music on a page, a larger one is easier to read from a music stand.
Questions
Is my file uploaded?
No. The score is laid out and the PDF is made in your browser, and the file never leaves your computer.
Can I print just one part?
Yes: untick the parts you don't need, and the pages are laid out again with the parts that are left. That gives you an instrumental part from a full score.
Why does my PDF look different from the original edition?
The PDF is a new engraving of the notes in the file, not a copy of the publisher's pages. Line and page breaks, spacing and fonts come from OSMD, so they can differ from the edition the file was made from.
The text in my PDF is not selectable.
The fonts built into PDF readers cover Western European letters only. When a score has other text, for example Chinese lyrics, its pages go into the PDF as images, so the text looks right but cannot be selected.
