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.

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).
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!
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…
