Greetings,
I've recently started working with PDFtoMusic Pro, with lots of good success.
However, I've experienced a glitch for which I hope there's any easy fix.
In my current project, many of the "r"s in text blocks are interpreted as "7"s, leading to such amusing renditions as:
"c7esc", "Semp7e", and "esp7ess"
Is there a way to globally edit all of these "7" characters to "r" in HA (i.e., globally replace each "7" with an "r")?
I can manually edit each one, but I have long way to go on this project ...

Strange, I would have thougt that with a vector pdf the text strings would have been text strings, not something to apply OCR on.
With a score reader (like PhotoScore) I have often seen letter "m" interpreted as "rn" (in lyrics essentially)...
Do you have the problem in the lyrics too?
Unless somebody knows some method within PDFtoMusic Pro, I think a script can handle that. If you provide me with the .myr, I would have a look.

Batch processing all these "7" is not possible in HA... And yet... there are two possible workarounds !
1- Edit the lyrics, copy them and paste them into a text editor (Windows notepad, Notepad++, GEdit or Kate for Linux) Use the "find/replace" function, then copy/paste back into HA.
2- A simple script may be used. (yet to be written, but I can give it a try if you wish)

If the problem lies (essentially) in free objects, it may be easier (in HA, not in P2M) to start from Score/Edit Free Objects - than to fish with the mouse.
A possibility is to export in XML, open it in an editor and start a change from "7" to "r", of course not a "change all" but with a manual scroll, selecting for each occurence "Next" or "Change".
