This assures that the Paragraph and Character Styles will match the rest of the text. I have found that it is best to leave any non-musical comments out of the MuseScore file and add them later as text-boxes in InDesign. So, an 11pt font may not actually be 11 points when it is printed! This can be a bit confusing because when you set the font size in the Style section, the sizes are given in points, when, actually, the font size changes when you change the Staff Space. ![]() Not forgetting that when you change the Staff Space in Page Settings (in MuseScore), it effects the size of the fonts, too. You will need to think about what fonts you want to use so that your InDesign text and the text (if any) used in the MuseScore file match-both the typeface and the font size. ![]() As you seem to know already, PDF files can be linked into InDesign files just as if they were regular images. What file format should you use? I suppose you could use SVG format if this is going to appear in many different media (Print, Web, Video, etc) and many different sizes but, me, I just export my files as PDFs. Here are some practical tips for using images or PDF files that have been created in MuseScore in an InDesign layout. Mark Sabatella's point about being able to automatically update images in MS3 using "Copy with Link to Score" sounds really interesting. I just got an email asking me to comment on this stream because of my experience with InDesign. ![]()
