Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I print the PDF multiple times?
Yes, for your own personal use. If you are a teacher, you may print one copy for yourself. However, you may not print copies for your students unless you have purchased a license for each student or have a Notability Pro subscription.
What if I lose my download link?
Your download links are active for 30 days. If your link has expired or you have lost your file, please contact support with your order number, and we will issue a fresh link immediately.
Are these scores legal for state competitions?
Absolutely. Because NMP is an independent publisher, our PDFs are "Primary Source" authorized editions. Simply present your order confirmation email if an adjudicator asks for proof of purchase.
Can I use these on my iPad or Android Tablet?
Yes. Our PDFs are optimized for apps like ForScore, MobileSheets, and our own Piano Excel App. They are engraved with oversized margins to ensure they fit perfectly on digital screens.
Can I edit the notes or change the notation?
