This is an announcement about new LilyPond based project.
http://bopland.org
The BopLand.org project is FREE knowledge database for improvising
musician.
The database contains hundreds of beautiful melodic patterns played by
outstanding jazz musicians like Bill Evans, Clifford Brown, Gerry Mulligan
and
others. All licks present in the database were carefully transcribed and
examined to contain no errors.
More about the project:
http://bopland.org/about.html
For quick start with BopLand.org search engine use the links below:

The BopLand.org syntax used for adding new licks slightly differs from
LilyPond's one.
However all patterns found in the database come along with their source
code, moreover
notations used at BopLand.org closely match hand-written notaions, so
adding
new lick
won't be a headache. Documentaion is available at
http://bopland.org/bopland-format.html
To contribute a lick or test the BopLand.org engine check the following
link:

The project is currently in beta version. Any comments, suggestions, and
bug
reports are
highly appreciated at
http://bopland.org/feedback.html
Sincerely Yours,
BopLand.org Team.

I agree, I was enthused to see your jazz transcriptions but was
disappointed. If the web site needs a user manual to use it, then it's
doomed. Can you automatically just generate all the links to the content or
categorize it some how so people can just browse the site? Maybe just list
all the progressions you have on file as clickable links (not key
sensitive). Not to be too harsh but the content should be accessible to the
average person. :)
Also I entered the following 2 identical chord progressions (except in
different keys) but got different search results:
| Dm7 | G7 | Cmaj |
| Em7 | A7 | Dmaj |
IOW the search engine should NOT be key sensitive.
You have a great domain name and a great idea, though the site needs a
useability review.
I hope this was constructive as it was meant to be constructive.
