How to Extract Parts from a Score

A step-by-step guide to splitting any score into individual instrumental parts — upload a PDF, extract parts, and download them.

Why extract parts from a score?

If you're a music teacher, band director, orchestra member, or musician, you've probably faced this situation: you have a full score in PDF but need to hand out individual parts to each player. Printing the entire score for everyone is wasteful, and manually cropping pages in a PDF editor is tedious and error-prone.

ScorePartify solves this problem. It lets you separate individual parts from a full score — visually select each instrument's staves and export them as clean PDF files ready to print or share digitally. Whether you work with an orchestral score, a concert band arrangement, or a choir score, ScorePartify turns your full score into individual parts in minutes.

How to extract parts: 3 simple steps

1 Upload your PDF score

Open ScorePartify and drag your PDF onto the upload area, or click the Load PDF button. The tool accepts any PDF score: orchestral, ensemble, band, choir, or chamber music. Instrument names are detected automatically from the score labels.

2 Draw bands over each instrument

Tap twice on the score to draw a band around each instrument — first the top edge, then the bottom edge. Bands snap to nearby staves and chain automatically. You can:

3 Preview and download the individual parts

Switch to the Preview tab to see each extracted part. You can insert page breaks by hovering between staves and clicking — a dashed line appears to show where the break will be. Click it again to remove it. Page breaks are applied to all instruments at once and are used in the downloaded PDF.

Then download a single instrument as PDF, or grab everything at once as a ZIP file. That's it — from full score to individual parts in minutes. Downloading requires a one-time Premium upgrade (€4.99).
