A free skill for Claude Code

Make your sheet music scroll.

Give it a PDF. Get back a video of the music moving in time, ready to put under your playing.

If you do it right, it can look like this.

How to use it
Step 1

Get Claude Code

It's the app that runs the skill. Get it here: claude.com/claude-code

Step 2

Put the skill in your skills folder

Unzip the file you downloaded. You get a folder called sheet-music-scroll. Move that whole folder into your skills folder.

Mac: in Finder, click Go, then Go to Folder, and type this:

// Mac ~/.claude/skills

Windows: the folder is here:

// Windows C:\Users\<you>\.claude\skills
No skills folder yet? Make one with that exact name.
Step 3

Ask for your video

Open Claude Code and say something like this:

// Say this to Claude Code "Make my sheet music scroll. Here's the PDF: [drag the PDF in]. It's 90 BPM, 4 bars per line, for a YouTube video."
Use your own numbers. Put in your own tempo and your own bars per line.
Step 4

Let it work

Claude installs what it needs (ffmpeg and PyMuPDF), makes the MP4, and checks that it found every line of your music.

Step 5

Put it in your video

Drop the MP4 into your video editor, over your playing.

  • Making a Reel? Ask for the vertical version.
  • Want it to match your recording? Ask Claude to make it the same length as your audio file.
