It is currently not possible to print your musical notation score from within REAPER. However, you are able to export your score in MusicXML format, which can be read by Finale, Sibelius, MuseScore, Forte, Cubase and many other programs. REAPER also supports export in .PDF and .XML and .MXL (compressed .XML) formats:

  1. Open the score in REAPER's MIDI Editor and select musical notation view. 2. From the menu, choose File, Notation: Export (PDF, MusicXML) 3. Accept the default directory offered, or navigate to another of your choosing. Select file type (.pdf, .xml

or .mxl) and type a file name. Specify page width and, optionally, author. 4. Select score-partwise or score-timewise (see note below). 5. Click on Save. The difference between partwise and timewise lies in the priorities that are applied in arranging part and measure elements. If a score contains more than one part elements, each of which contains one or more measure elements, then score-partwise organises the score with part elements at the top of the hierarchy. Score-timewise reverses this hierarchy. If you are unsure as to which to use, accept the default settling. Note that REAPER's MusicXML export and import supports multi-layer music.
