Answer 2

I use Muscript:

But it is not very user friendly. I then use GhostScript and/or GSView



http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/



to view the PostScript output that MuScript makes. Then I "print" it using PDFCreator:



http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator



What PDFCreator does is it sets up a virtual (bogus) "printer" - anything you print here gets saved as a PDF (or JPEG, or a handful of other formats).



I suspect you'll want to use something a little more user friendly, and that has a graphical user interface (GUI), like Lilypond:

If Lilypond doesn't write PDFs (don't know; I've not used it), you can use PDFCreator.

Answer 3

http://www.pdf995.com/ has something that you simply set up as a printer driver and you can create a PDF file by simply choosing it as a printer. There are 2 parts to it, a converter and the printer driver.



If you want to combine PDF files into one and do other things they also have PdfEdit995 which also needs their Signature995 (which are all on the same download page).

Answer 4

Open office can save most document types into a pdf. You can scan in images of hand-written notes, or ..



google "open source" and "sheet music" and "creation"

Try anyone you feel comfortable with.

Here is a guide on how to do that with OpenOffice.org. After you write it OpenOffice has an export to PDF feature.

Answer 9

You can't. I can, and many others can, but you simply can not.



Oh, and your song sucks anyway. Start listening to metal already, son. You're not a child anymore.
