Hi all.
About Openscore project, that claims collaborating with IMSLP: did I
understand wrong, or they ask people for money: primarily, to work
for them; and secondly, to purchase those scores that people typed
paying for that...?
All IMSLP scores incl. those originating from the former WIMA score
project, are published under a Creative Commons license and are
downloadable free of charge. You may, however, sign up with a paid for
membership giving you some benefits: you don't need to wait a small
number of seconds for downloading recent IMSLP contributions, and you
are allowed to stream commercial recordings associated with an IMSLP
work page. But please notice that you do NOT pay for any IMSLP score.
The IMSLP membership was introduced some years ago with the aim of
funding the operating costs of IMSLP. I had WIMA merge with IMSLP in
2012 after years of unsuccessful attempts to establish a cooperative
WIMA staff. If that had been successful we'd most likely have met a
similar need for funding assistance. The WIMA server is still alive,
hosting the MusiXTeX software. The server is only kept alive because the
costs are sponsored by a Danish cultural organisation.
