The project started to support comparative analysis of the works attributed to the composer Josquin des Prez. This open-access site allows users to search, browse, and analyze complete scores of polyphonic music from roughly 1420 to 1520. Downloads are available in MuseScore, MusicXML, PDF, MIDI, MP3, and Braille formats. It is the first project of its kind funded by a Kickstarter campaign. OpenScore is a project to create interactive scores of the world’s public domain sheet music, free to use for any purpose. The Archive has since merged with IMSLP, but this original site is still available online. While many are in PDF format only, an increasing number are in MusicXML format or MusicXML-compatible source formats like Finale and capella. This site has many free sheet music files. Many others are available in source file formats (Finale, Sibelius, capella, Myriad, etc.) that can be exported to MusicXML files.

An increasing number are available directly in MusicXML format. The library has over 43,000 choral and vocal public domain scores available. IMSLP provides files in PDF format, but an increasing number of these PDF files include MusicXML attachments. IMSLP, the International Music Score Library Project, has one of the largest collection of online public domain scores in the Petrucci Music Library, with over 210,000 works.

Downloading copyrighted scores requires a Musescore PRO subscription for $49/year. Public domain scores can be downloaded free of charge.
