Re: Your thoughts on Lilypond exposure (2015)

Taste is somewhat a broad term but pretty much. 

I could estimate 5 ways it's going to be use. 

1. re-composition of existing piece (same instruments) 
2. new composition (different instrument) 
3. new composition (remix/cover) 
4. listening in general 
5. new composition in general 

In regard to number 3, if you were to think in terms of what a composition
is, you could say writing musical score is a form of a remix of a song,
therefor I think their will be a section for just those who does the
remix/cover but doesn't exactly use musical score but uses remix software
fruityloop, garageband, logic pro etc etc. If you were to look at it in
terms of that, these software produces their own "musical scores" and it
would be fair to share them with other users who uses similar software. 

I could only imagine many people having a fun time building upon each other
piece, and it might even get somewhat addicting depending on if you're an
enthusiast or not. It might just be me, but so far I haven't seen a site
with the right UI out there yet for this, let me know if I"m wrong. 

Call it the home of networking for musical composition. There are many sites
out there like this already but the popular ones are embedded only for their
technology such as noteflight. I want to keep the site as a "free software".
The other second thing would be their search feature and how the results are
organize, it isn't made for composition purpose. 

Also to put this out there now. The second goal of the site is the
contribution back to the original artist. The UI made it simpler to be able
to backtrack to the original artist (not user) and depending on how much
views/listen or whatever, it would make sense financially to give me the
money back to the artist. If any big artist ever decide they want to post
their music on the site and sell it (digital copies), they can keep all
their commission. Royalty rates and all that things are annoying, I made
sure to include 3 other options (in the mockup) that could fund the site
with highest return rates (hopefully). 

It's pretty much a site around mutual relationship between artist and
benefiting the artist financially or through exposure, based around musical
scores. I could only imagine the backend to be somewhat complex for the long
term goal of giving back financially to the original artist.
