PDF-MusicBinder is a fast way to create consolidated PDFs for easy printing for either accordion-style layout or stapled imposed booklets.
PDF-MusicBinder takes single-sided PDFs that are generally outputted from notation software, and rearranges them into PDFs that can be printed on larger size paper and then folded. It can even resize the PDF in one step.
Simply drag and drop your files onto the application window, or click the Add Files button to locate them in your file browser.

Super useful for digitally collating scores and parts which saves many hours work. I use MusicBinder for booklets and concertina-taped works printed 2up on A3 +odd pages on A4, and BatchStitch for simple collating of documents (A3 scores and B4 parts) with the useful “insert blank page” between collated PDF’s for double sided material. One of those products that just works.

This is such a useful tool, and one that I’ve used many times for session studio music preparation work. I always export notation to PDF now and use the PDF-MusicBinder software. Great work!
