Convert and rename PDFs in MusicReader

In this tutorial, we look at using MusicReader's sister program MusicConvert to convert a PDF file downloaded from the popular public domain classical sheet music site, IMSLP.org (International Music Score Library Project). Once the PDF is converted, we look at how to rename the file and add catalog information to make it easier to organize and find in your digital sheet music library.
