Recordare have some example files, but they're all just the first page of various classical piano pieces (they'd like you to pay for the full music). Virtual Composer can export MusicXML, and there's a plugin for Finale which imorts and exports it. Only for the PC version at the moment, but the mac version is coming. That's the main attraction, since quite a few BarFly users also use Finale. >One problem that may be either with your web server or my browser: >iCab gives the downloaded archive a TEXT file type and iCab creator >type.

Pipex don't do anonymous ftp, as far as I know. You can enter the url as ftp://www.barfly.dial.pipex.com/BarFly1v3.sit in your browser, but I expect the same thing will happen. In order to set the downloaded file type under OS 9 you use the Internet control panel, click the 'Advanced' tab and the File Mapping option, then set the extension '.sit' to Stuffit Expander. Under older systems I think you had to use Internet Config, but I don't remember the details. I thought I'd save everybody a bit of download time (and me quite a lot of upload time) by uploading a binary file rather than a BinHex file this time (works OK for me), so I hope it doesn't lead to a lot of complaints.
