Hi Chris,
The website looks good! Nice work indeed. A couple of nitpicks:
* The organisation is a little unclear. Perhaps you need a TOC or a
sitemap?
* The outgoing links could also be grouped.
* We can make a statement if we don't link Adobe's (proprietary
software!) website. Isn't there a free Windows PDF viewer? Doesn't
ghostview also do PDF?
* http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/Mutopia/list-nopreview.html could contain a
link to the relevant FTP area.
* These little snippets could also be added somewhere:
Legal:
Beware: some publishers have bought the original manuscripts of works
by Public Domain composers. Strictly speaking, these works are in the
public domain.
[Is that really so? How does copyright work for posthumous work?]
If these works have not been published earlier, it is not possible to
determine what is and is not in the original manuscript. Hence it is
also not possible to derive an untainted version of the music for
mutopia.
This practice is of course morally repugnant, but if you want to fight
this, please do not get yourself or the Mutopia project in legal
troubles by publishing an edition yourself.
Disclaimer:
The mutopia project is run by volunteers, and we don't make any claims
as to correctness of the sheet music downloaded here, this includes
editorial, political, musical and frobnological correctness. In
others words: this content comes with NO WARRANTY at all.
You might get schizophrenic from using this music. We didn't do it.
