If open source works for Linux, or Wikipedia, maybe there is a
possibility for something similiar for classical music editions:
people sharing their Finale files for others to correct or make
editorial additions.
But perhaps this is too narrow a definition of "open source". How about
the Music Memory Project of the Library of Congress, from which one can
select to download from a large number of public domain, 19th century
works. Further, one academic library has a policy on some public domain
editions, of disbinding certain old music books, and scanning the
contents to digital image formats.
It seems to me that making image files (by which term I include various
audio formats) available for free while not distributing Finale data
files may be a good solution to the problem of protecting my particular
set of tools, skills, and knowledge, while making the results publicly
available.
