Thread Name: sheet music to these great songs
Subject: RE: sheet music to these great songs
We're working on making tunes available to y'all. There are a few problems: time, and its equivalent: money.

The Digital Tradition is a labor (!!) of love, which doesn't relieve its developers from the necessity of earning a living. As a consequence, improvements are often slower to arrive than you (or we) would wish. It's a given with us that we don't charge for the DT; the question then arises "how do we get time to do it right?" Or even just to do it better.

Advertising is iffy. As yet our one sponsor hasn't been able to note any appreciable increase in sales. Do any of you have any ideas? As for music, if you download your own copy of the DT, you also get a music player that will play some 3600 of the tunes. AND, you can find shareware that will allow you to print them (the Mac version already permits printing of scores).
