Yes. Harsh this may sound, but how much of the music on Mutopia would you be
satisfied to print out, and use yourself? From a quick browse through
various sections, I have to say that a large amount of the music on there is
fairly poorly engraved. My proposition is for much more strict quality
control... after all, nobody will pay money for music unless it looks
professional.

Quoting Stewart Holmes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Okay... this may seem like a strange place for this, but it's seem the
best place to put it in order to get attention/opinions.
What I'm proposing is some kind of a collaboration between Lilypond users
to submit their scores to an online score (the scores being engraved from
public domain sources, etc.). The money that is made from the sale of
scores (either pdf/ly/both files) could then be distributed in 3 ways:
1) The upkeep of running the store
2) The creator of the score
3) The community
Number 3: A chunk of the money would go into a piggy bank of sorts, which
would be used to, upon application, help fund sponsorship of Lilypond
features.
That's me out... now let the shooting down commence (hopefully not).
Stewart
