New member: Can't find info on how to print scores

Post by vorvick »

I just came across this great site! Are we allowed to print scores, or just view them on-line? When I open a score and choose "print" I'm shown what looks like a print-protected document. Any guidance would be appreciated,

Ideally whoever uploads a score should make sure that it can be printed, so that visitors like you who download won't have this problem.

Let us know which file(s) you downloaded, and some should be able to fix them.

In the meantime, use Google to find the free program "PDFsam" (PDF save and merge). Download, install, and run that program, and then load the IMSLP file you want to print and combine it with some other PDF file, then save under a new name. That process should unlock the file, and you should be able to print the pages you need.
