If the original poster of the example could tell us what this is actually?


It's a score created by John Stump, see here

OK, from the second link (which looks 'serious') the page is the second page of a

String Quartet No. 556 (b)
in A Minor (Motoring Accident)

:-)

AFAICS this is nothing we could just use freely.
Of course one could ask for the permission to redo one page, and maybe we'd even get this.
But I'm not sure if it really is a good idea for some reasons:

 * At the end of the day this isn't 'real' music
   so it isn't really important if it can be created by engraving software
 * We may well get stuck with problems that aren't readily solveable.
 * [Maybe this is in itself more a work of graphical and intellectual
   art than of music,
   so we should maybe just leave it as it is -
   although I will surely look at it more closely :-)

OTH we might take this as an opportunity to do something else as a showcase project. I wouldn't suggest Goldberg Variations but rather something complex from the end of the 19th century (i.e. just out of copyright). Maybe something for string quartet too or another ensemble instrumentation (to be able to break it down in a number of more manageable tasks)?
