FAQ
MUSICXML to PCT Conversion
What are MUSICXML files?
MUSICXML is an open file format for sheet music. It describes a score in readable XML text: the notes of every instrument with their pitch and length, the clefs, key and time signatures, bars, dynamics, lyrics, and chord symbols. Its purpose is to move music from one notation program to another without retyping it, so a score written in one editor can be opened, corrected, and printed in another. It was created by Recordare and is now developed by the W3C Music Notation Community Group. Over 270 music notation programs can read or write it.
What are PCT files?
PCT is an image file format associated with Macintosh QuickDraw, a graphics program developed in the 1980s as part of the Apple Macintosh operating system. The initial version of the format, called PICT 1, could store 8 colors, while the later developed PICT 2 supported 24 and 32-bit color images. In recent years, the format has decreased in popularity, being gradually replaced by more versatile formats.
