Still something that I don't get: why are some public (public) libraries slowly making all their MS available as a digital download - and I'm thinking about the the Bayerisch Staatsbibliothek here in Munich, between others -, while there are other PUBLIC libraries (hello, British Library ...) - that still do not even seem to envisage that ...
Shall we (as single members of the list) put some pressure on our local libraries? Send an email to the curators of their music departments - maybe as rightful, registered members of the library, as I guess some of us are - and ask about it? (Of course, this doesn't want to diminuish at all the value of such pubblication as the Dd.2.11 by the Lute Society. The scholarship part is something you dont get in a digital facsimile ...) Your opinion, listers?
