Yes. Harsh this may sound, but how much of the music on Mutopia would you be satisfied to print out, and use yourself? From a quick browse through various sections, I have to say that a large amount of the music on there is fairly poorly engraved. My proposition is for much more strict quality control... after all, nobody will pay money for music unless it looks professional.

Quoting Stewart Holmes <address@hidden>:

Okay... this may seem like a strange place for this, but it's seem the best place to put it in order to get attention/opinions.

What I'm proposing is some kind of a collaboration between Lilypond users to submit their scores to an online score (the scores being engraved from public domain sources, etc.). The money that is made from the sale of scores (either pdf/ly/both files) could then be distributed in 3 ways:

1) The upkeep of running the store
2) The creator of the score
3) The community

Number 3: A chunk of the money would go into a piggy bank of sorts, which would be used to, upon application, help fund sponsorship of Lilypond features.

That's me out... now let the shooting down commence (hopefully not).
