Re: music scores search engine
I think as an open-source project under the Apache umbrella, Nutch might be a great project for musicians with development skills to get involved and add more music search functionality. A while ago I had a brief look at the Music and Audio Retrieval tools (http://maart.sourceforge.net) which aims to offer search and retrieval of music fragments within midi and mp3 files. I'm not sure how far along that project is, but searching into lilypond files, as you suggest, does not seem to pose insumountable problems, at least when thinking out loud about it in really general terms.

Re: music scores search engine
I hope you have realized that there already are some similar web directories available, for example http://www.fac-simile.org/ and http://www.imslp.org/ (I seem to remember that there's one that includes both Mutopia and Werner Icking, among others, but can't find it for the moment). /Mats Valentin Villenave wrote: 2007/4/12, Mike Blackstock [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I've installed the Nutch search engine software (http://lucene.apache.org/nutch/) on my site and use it to crawl and index websites that have good repositories of scores; finding a particular score is faster than searching via the major search engines.

music scores search engine
I use lilypond to adapt music for small guitar ensembles and finding scores to adapt online saves me a trip to the library. I've installed the Nutch search engine software (http://lucene.apache.org/nutch/) on my site and use it to crawl and index websites that have good repositories of scores; finding a particular score is faster than searching via the major search engines.
