Questions
What to know before uploading.
Do I need to install any software?
No. StaveWave is an online service, so it works the same on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPad, and Chromebook. There is nothing to install.
How do I import the file into Dorico?
File › Import › MusicXML — choose the exported .musicxml, .xml, or .mxl file.
Which file types can I upload?
PDF, PNG, JPG, WEBP, and TIFF, up to 100 MB and 100 pages per job.
Can I use the same file in other notation apps?
Yes. It's standard MusicXML, so it also opens in Sibelius, MuseScore, or Finale.
