Because the notation file used to generate the Altenburg PDFs (for 
instance) is not Finale (or any notation program that I've even heard 
of). This is often the case with the online public domain music 
libraries, where a lot of it is done in programs with horrid results 
like Lilypond. 

If Finale files were available, I might not be able to use them 
anyway, because I'm on a relatively old version of Finale (2003).

So, no, the original notation files, even when accessible (which they 
are mostly *not*), are not likely to help me.
