We have a library of music that we can draw on for sight-reading sessions. There is a lot of public domain music available on sites like IMSLP, but they often need to be adapted for recorders. These software tools make it possible to convert a PDF or paper score to a file usable by music publishing applications.
PlayScore 2 is an optical music recognition application. It can scan a paper score with a camera or read a PDF file and immediately play it. It can export to Music XML format.
MuseScore is an open source music editing and publishing application. It can import Music XML files and export to PDF files for both scores and parts. The music rendering style is flexible and the output quality is excellent.
