It saves time and mostly accurate except when older scores (from imslp) are used and it doesn't recognize the instruments on the score. But efficient enough for some

I tried the software to convert scores in original sharp PDFs (parts for baritone in Bb) and it worked almost flawless. I only had to import the MuseXML in MuseScore, transpose and change the key and I could play the baritone parts on my trombone. With hardly any changes needed. Perfect, it saved me a lot of time.
