Unscore Me can process any score that's in PDF format. That said, whether you should use it with a particular score is a matter of copyright. Public domain scores (available from sites like IMSLP) are always fine. For copyrighted scores, you need to own the copyright, have a license, or have another legal basis for extracting parts. When you upload, you'll declare the copyright status - that declaration is your responsibility.

Files are retained based on your account plan. Trial accounts: 48 hours. Standard: 30 days. Pro: 90 days. After that, files are automatically cleaned up. Unscore Me is a processing tool, not a hosting service.

You can upload a score and use the editor without an account. However, downloading extracted parts requires signing in. Creating an account is free and gives you 5 trial downloads to start.

Usage is counted the first time you download parts from a score. Re-downloading the same score does not count again. Trial accounts get 5 lifetime downloads. Standard and Pro accounts have weekly rolling limits that reset automatically.

When you upload a score, you select a copyright status - public domain, licensed, personal study use, or open license. This is your declaration of the legal basis for processing the score. Unscore Me does not verify this; it has no way to. It's there so you make a conscious choice about whether your use is appropriate.

IMSLP (the International Music Score Library Project) is the best source for public domain sheet music. It has hundreds of thousands of scores that are free to use. If a score's copyright has expired, you can use Unscore Me with it freely.

This is a gray area. Purchasing a physical or digital copy of a score gives you the right to use it, but it typically doesn't grant the right to create derivative works. Extracting parts could be seen as similar to photocopying for personal study - widely done, but not always explicitly permitted. If you're unsure, check with the publisher or consult a legal professional. Unscore Me is a tool; how you use it is up to you.

PDF only, up to 50 MB. The PDF should contain a standard printed music score with clearly visible staves. Scanned scores work too, as long as the scan quality is reasonable.

Yes. After processing, open the segment editor to drag system divider lines, adjust left and right margins, rename instrument labels, and reorder parts. Once you're happy with the layout, regenerate the parts with your changes.

From the score detail page, click the download button next to any part to get its PDF. You can also download a ZIP archive containing all parts at once.

Detection isn't always perfect, especially with handwritten scores, unusual layouts, or very dense orchestral pages. Use the segment editor to correct any mistakes - you can move system boundaries, fix margins, and relabel instruments - then regenerate the parts.
