I also think it's better for such "simple" sheets with just one voice and not much formating to just put it in your notation program of choice than to edit an image or pdf with cutting.
I want to mention again another nice notation option, completely free and hopefully will be supported by Mike in MSP in the foreseeable future similar to the chord pro notation.
I've talked about in the forum here in other threads: ABC. I don't want to go too deeply into it in this thread, but it took me less than 5 minutes to transcribe the sample above to ABC code.
Without any edits for bars per line, height of staff or something else the default result looks like the image above (also see attached pdf).
The syntax is quite simple for such tasks like here. Actually the sole code text is ASCII and not bigger than these 429 bytes:
Actually one can do fairly complex multivoiced and formated sheet music with ABC. But for sheets like yours it's as simple as that. You don't even need an app for it.
You can simply use the this incredible webpage for creating and editing (also displaying if you like) ABC sheets
http://moinejf.free.fr/js/edit-1.xhtml
Just paste an ABC text like the above into the left part of the web editor and it's rendered on the right WYSIWYG.
I recommend Vivaldi or another Chrome based web browser (maybe IE or Firefox work too). You can directly print to a pdf from the browser which in my
example case resulted in the attached pdf.
If you (or anyone) is further interested into this I can elaborate. I just wanted to use the opportunity to show another way and to dream again of ABC support in MSP (maybe even
with the use of the rendering engine of the linked webpage since the javascript source code is freely available from the author who is a great guy) because that would mean
we can have very small files which can be edited and transposed within MSP like chordpro but with real notes, chords, lyrics, and so on. Also ABC can be quite easily converted
to MusicXML and vice versa so there would be an interface to import and export files from and to other notation programs.
