I didn't see the result, but I know - and told it already in this list -
that PMX's spacing engine is excellent. Hard to beat. Therefore I'm
looking for the reverse converter.

Do you think GMD-archive's license is less annoying?
Imho for politeness one should ask the editor of a piece whether he allows
to use his edition for other purposes than evident. The evident purpose
of editions on http://www.gmd.de/Misc/Music/scores/ is to print copies
which may not been sold. Any other usage should be discussed with the
editor.
In the same way I could imagine that the Musedata-owners do allow more
if they are asked for permission as they state in their general CR-clause.
