Description

Your idea

When publishing a score to musescore.com, there should be a checkbox option that when selected, automatically adds a QR code to the top of the score that links to its published location.

Problem to be solved
  • People with printed versions of a score would have an easy way to get an electronic copy in any format.
  • People with the .pdf version of a score would have an easy way to get the musescore file format.

There are all kinds of reasons that easier access to the source file for a score can make people's lives easier.

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the publish-to-musescore.com flow and the score layout or export path; done means a selectable option adds a QR code linking to the published score while leaving the default behavior unchanged.
