Because I'm no Mutopia user.

Now the right question would be why am I not a user ?
Well, few years ago I've downloaded one or two files and, as far as I
remember :
a) None of'em were compilable.
b) Copy/paste-ing the notes took me much more time than rewriting the whole
score after a facsimile.
c) Pdfs look bad (what's the purpose of such footers ??).

I've just take a quick look at the Mutopia site. I'd like to add :
a) it is written "The Mutopia Project offers sheet music editions of
classical music for free download" ; which means that it is in direct
competition with IMSLP. Does it make sense ?
b) the composer's pages are not user-friendly ; why not using a wiki system
?
c) a majority of (all ?) scores are coded "relatively" ; exept when coding
for organ, piano, harp, etc. I never use \relative
d) there is no coding convention; many Mutopia codes (e.g.
http://www.mutopiaproject.org/ftp/BrownCJ/lullaby/lullaby.ly)  give me
headhaches.
e) there are numbers of pretty old version (v2.4 for this one :
http://www.mutopiaproject.org/ftp/CarcassiM/O60/carcassi-op60-01/carcassi-op60-01.ly
)
f)...etc. (too long)

I'd like to conclude that Mutopia site remains the same for years, no
improvement, no discussion (except you, Federico). So, if nothing changes,
I don't see any future for this site.

Cheers,
~Pierre
