Oh man, I really don't know about the copyright. If it was published in
1905, then it's in p.d. in the U.S. If I'm not mistaken, the pdf I
downloaded from the International Music Library Score Project was made
from a Dover score, and I think those are always made from public domain
stuff. If there's any hesitation to include it, then I could do a
fragment of something older. Even if we can't use the Ravel, it was a
fun diversion from the big orchestral score I've been trudging through
and I learned a number of things I hadn't known how to do before :).
I don't really know how to deal with the staff spacing and was just
going to look at the docs for guidance when I had some more time.
Glad you're pleased with it, Trevor. Could you email me the code with
the time sig removed? I've never figured out how to do this except by
making it transparent, which looks ugly b/c there's a blank space. I
want to see how you did it.

Ok I've put together six bars of the Ravel quartet. File is attached
so you can see it looks like it'll be appropriate. It would be nice
to have a couple of fingerings and bowing indications, but this
passage didn't have any. There are some pizz. and arco and up-bow on
the next system but it would get long if I kept going. Should I go
ahead and include the next few bars?
This still needs some tweaking to make it look like the original
(tighten staff spacing, get rid of the time signature) but otherwise I
like how it looks.
Wow! That was quick! I make a request last thing
at night, go to bed, and there it is before breakfast!
It looks great! Unfortunately it would get too long
if you added any more bars. I've added the correct midi
instruments (strings sound poor, but a piano sounded
worse on this piece!) I've also removed the time
signature as you suggested, but I've done nothing
about the staff spacing. Any suggestions for this?
I'll add it to the docs so we can see how it looks.
I'm not sure about the copyright position though :(
Valentin's happy, but maybe others will not be. We
already have Ravel's sonatine (1905) in Keyboards,
so maybe these few bars are OK too.
Many thanks again.
Trevor
