Bring your own scores into Piano Pilot as .xml or .mxl MusicXML files.

Last updated: October 28, 2026

Import a file

  1. Save or download your score to your device as a MusicXML file (.xml or .mxl).
  2. In Piano Pilot, tap Files, then Import sheet music.
  3. Pick the file. It appears in Your imported sheet music.
  4. Tap it to practise with the same sheet music, falling notes and scoring as library songs.

Tap the menu on an imported sheet to rename or delete it.

Getting a MusicXML file

  • Most notation apps can export MusicXML. In MuseScore, use File → Export and choose MusicXML.
  • Many sheet music sites offer a MusicXML download alongside PDF.
  • PDF, image and MIDI files can't be imported directly. Convert them to MusicXML first with a notation or music-scanning app.

“Can't import file”

Piano Pilot only accepts .xml and .mxl files that contain a MusicXML score. If a file won't import, open it in a notation app and export it again as MusicXML.

Imported files stay on your device. They aren't uploaded to your account, so they won't appear on another phone or tablet.
