Or spend money on the ultimate setup for PDFs: iPad, forScore and
Bluetooth foot switch. It's the norm in jazz these days, and I see it
more in classical orchestras as well. Even I use it.

Twice I
used a third party (Sourceforge) and even a mirror but to no

wonder if it's a temporary glitch and thought I'd try again
tomorrow....
I downloaded an old version from CNET (MUSESCORE 1.13) and it ran
OK
but it doesn't accept pdf files which, I believe, the latest
version
does.

the old
(but still quite good) editions in the series [1]Denkmäler der

I guess from what is being said that these wouldn't work with
MUSESCORE
- but I'll certainly give it a whirl!
Many thanks

I think it was MuseScore that the Italian publisher used from my
*.PDF
input file. It worked very well. And was probably very easy.

Please, don't use Gimp. It's a marvelous program, but not meant
for
that kind
of job (and your "IT-person" should know ...) Gimp works on
raster
images
only and will convert a pdf to a (set of) raster images. At that
point
you work with
pixel data which will most likely look rather disapointing when
printed
at
a different resolution.

Before you investigate further in Finale (a piece of crap IMHO)
you
might
want to have a look at MuseScore ([13][23]https://musescore.org)
- that'll
probably
give you more than you ever need, and the latest versions have
pretty
good
support for lute tab.

The digital version of that would be to import our pdf into a
vector
drawing
program (Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape etc.) but the quality of
that
import
depends on the program that generated the pdf.
Unfortunately, the only convincing path to solve your problem is
to use
the
same program as the original typesetter (if you can get the
original
digital version,
NO the pdf). Otherwise, a good pair of scissors IS an
astonishingly
effective tool :-)
