Scores and uploads
File types, photographing a score well, and what to do when a page will not read.
Which file types can I upload?
PDF, PNG, JPG or JPEG, TIF or TIFF, and WebP. A PDF of the original edition gives the best result. One file can contain several pages.
How do I photograph a score well?
Lay the page flat, fill the frame with the page, and light it evenly. Avoid shadows across the staves and keep the camera square to the page. A straight, well-lit photograph reads as well as a scan for most editions.
My score could not be read. What now?
Try again with the original PDF if you have one, or with a straighter, brighter photograph. Very faint reprints and heavy handwritten markings are the usual causes. If it still will not read, write to help@quaverley.com with the file.
The sections are wrong. Can I change them?
Yes. Open the piece and choose to edit its sections. The proposed boundaries are a starting point, and every one can be moved. The study plan follows.
Can I delete a piece?
Yes. Remove it from My music, and the score and its practice record are deleted with it.
Are my uploads private?
Yes. Scores stay in your account and are used only to build your plan. They are never published or shared. The privacy page has the detail, and the copyright page explains what may be uploaded.
What is the difference between the library and an upload?
Library pieces are prepared editions with their grade, description and edition credits. An upload is your own score, planned the same way. Both end up as a study plan in My music.
