I half-ass searched but couldn't find much.
I use PRV for everything but I will need to be sending out transcribed stuff...in X2 staff view I selected the tracks, went to print/ export to music xml...then I added the xml reader to chrome but I don't see a score, it looks like html 
ie 
score-partwise version="2.0">

<part-list>
<score-part id="P1">
<part-name>violins</part-name>

</score-part>


<score-part id="P2">
<part-name>K5 viola ride</part-name>

</score-part>


<score-part id="P3">
 
Is there a way of doing this without having to buy anything?
Thanks very much,
Randy

Today's your lucky day! Download a copy of MuseScore http://musescore.org/en - it'll load that MusicXML file and you can make your score as pretty as you like!

+1 to MuseScore, and there are some nice tutorial videos on there site to get you up and running.
 
An alternative is Finale Notepad, also free.

Since he got a legit answer he is satisfied with, I can now stop resisting the urge to give the silly answer of pen and paper! :)

CutePDF also works pretty well, and not just for printing scores from Sonar.
