Re: music scores search engine

[Mats Bengtsson]

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).
