How do you acquire sheet music?
There’re IMSLP and musescore, but many things are just not there.
Bonus points if you know anything with xenharmonic/microtonal music well-represented.

I have recently found some stuff on free-scores.com but it was mostly old, popular stuff like bachs violin solos.
Edit: forgot the - in the address
I get a “this domain is for sale” from that link
Very sorry, I should have checked it again: https://www.free-scores.com
Yea, It’s dead…
If you know a bit of web programming you can grab sheet music straight from the code in musescore when you inspect element (albeit low quality). It’s been a while since I discovered this and did it so I don’t recall how exactly to do so but it wasn’t too tricky
Downloading there is straightforward: look at network requests, redownload svg’s of individual pages with
wgetand reassemble those into a pdf. I did that today and the resulting quality wasn’t exactly low - though I didn’t examine it too closely. Readability was perfect.Probably could be automated, but I’m not bothered enough to do so yet.
Check out LibreScore :) https://github.com/LibreScore/dl-librescore
Yeah that’s what I did without the wget part. Thanks for explaining!
myanonamouse has sheet music
Alas, their IP requirements are too much for me.
Anyway, is there much of xenharmonic sheet music there? Take, for example, Easley Blackwood (but not his books).
