I've thought about photocopying, and that would certainly make it useable, but--

what I'd like to preserve is the original. And if I understand correctly, bright light does bad things to old stuff--I'm guessing this goes for music as well, but I really don't know, and I also don't know if the brief exposure in a copy machine would really do much damage...

Another problem with photocopying is that the sheet music isn't standard page size--most of it is bigger, more like 11x14 than 8-1/2 x 11. So copying it would mean shrinking it, which is okay in the useability sense (for the most part), but still doesn't help me preserve the original.

Thanks, :) Monica
