Nicely done! Do you consider synchronizing scores with recordings on YouTube?

We've built a similar thing at http://particellissima.net at the Classical Music Hack Day in Vienna.

It's a demo, but you may find some UI ideas interesting, for example synchronization and navigation through a video, flowing score, hiding the instrument parts that are not playing for a while, and assembling a score from small pieces with measure images hosted on multiple subdomains to improve the fetching performance in the browser.

And of course more music would be great!

I have considered that, actually. There are certain advantages with it - although, one thing that I like in particular with hosting the audio myself is that for example, I can slow it down to 25% speed and still have it sound great! Not possible with Youtube at the moment (if you slow down their videos, the results are deplorable).

Interesting demo! I definitely like the hiding of the instruments not playing.... also, lots of people seem to prefer a flowing score.

As for fetching more quickly, yup, also worth addressing.

More music? You can be sure about that ;)

Thanks.
