Frequently asked questions
- What output format do I get?
- Individual PDF files - one per instrument - with the score title and instrument name on each page. Page numbers included. Download individually or as a ZIP.
- Does it work for any size ensemble?
- Yes - from a solo piano to a full symphony orchestra. The system detects staff rows across any number of staves per system and across all pages.
- Can I download all parts at once?
- Yes. The "Download all as ZIP" button packages every instrument part in a single archive.
- How accurate is the automatic detection?
- Detection works well on most published and typeset scores. Complex layouts may need manual correction in the segment editor, where you can drag boundaries and relabel instruments.
- Can I convert a score that spans multiple pages?
- Yes. Unscore Me processes the entire PDF and tracks instrument rows across page breaks, so each extracted part contains all the relevant pages.
