You can click on my image at left to index the win­dow down to here, or on such up/down ar­row icons as at left and else­where here­in to navi­gate with­in a page, or click on linked scores below — whose text usu­al­ly renders as dark blue, bolded, and under­lined, like the text and link at left — to ac­tu­ate a page-​by-​page view­er displaying scores in your brow­ser with HTML.

When viewing the tables that list works, the left-most column has the link ▲ you can use to index up, or the arrow link → to index to its table row. Click­ing the linked ti­tle then shows its score at the res­pec­tive res­o­lu­tion and size of your mon­it­or and win­dow, even though the file it­self’s is high (300DPI [dots per inch] , or 118 dots/cm.). You should max­im­ize that win­dow, and your brow­ser may su­per­im­pose an icon sig­nif­y­ing that you can go to full res­o­lu­tion (other­wise some small de­tails, such as dots and ac­cid­en­tals, will be in­vis­ible), and scroll the brow­ser win­dow around in it as a view­port, to see de­tails.

However, MS Internet Explorer’s recent versions, Opera 9, and Mo­zil­la Fire­fox 3.0 (and oth­er brow­sers also may…) have a “Zoom” func­tion —

• MSIE’s is avail­able both from its tool­bar’s Page drop-​down, and also from a con­trol at the right of the stat­us bar, if en­abled, at the bot­tom of the screen.
• You can find Fire­fox’s and Opera’s Zoom func­tions on their View menus.

Using this lets you sel­ect dis­play en­large­ment or shrink­age per­cen­tages to look at the files in a res­o­lu­tion that will pre­sent ex­cel­lent de­tail with­out hav­ing to scroll so much, but please be aware that some brow­sers’ down­load­ing and ren­der­ing of these large files with Zoom can take a few sec­onds, and some require a higher Zoom percentage for best rendering than others. My testing shows that Opera 9 is best for this. Also, stan­dards com­pliance and per­for­mance there­with are by no means con­sis­tent! 200% often works best with a wide-​screen mon­it­or. Click­ing on the scroll-​bar con­trols can be tricky at high mag­nif­ic­ations in some browsers.

I’m also installing scores viewable in Ado­be® Ac­ro­bat® (see below). If you have a wide-​as­pect mon­it­or, viewing full-​screened .pdf scores in View | Page Display | Two-Up mode (two pages side by side) can be very nice.

Some display hardware will let you use a program to ro­tate it be­tween por­trait (long-​side up) and land­scape (long-​side horiz­on­tal) ori­en­ta­tions. Scores look much bet­ter in por­trait mode if being viewed full page, but for view­ing de­tail, land­scape mode can be bet­ter, al­though hav­ing to use the scroll bars can be tricky. Switch­ing a dis­play and its driver be­tween the two ori­en­ta­tions can be awk­ward, and a pain … see your video card’s and monitor’s doc­u­men­ta­tion, and its con­trol soft­ware’s help system.

In such a zoom-capable browser, key combinations should be avail­able to change zoom level: For ex­am­ple, In MSIE and Mo­zilla, the key {Ctrl} (or {Cmd} on a Mac) com­bi­ning with + in­creas­es Zoom percentage, and {Key} combining with – (that’s the minus key) re­du­ces it. {Key} + 0 (that’s a zero, not an O) resets Zoom to normal. Opera’s keys are dif­fer­ent.

You may be able to print scores from the web page, but it may not look optimal (e.g., one score is quar­to size [17"×22" — 43×56 cm.]) and some scores tab­loid (11"×17" [28×43 cm.]): If you try to have your sys­tem print these on reg­ul­ar pa­per, they will break across mul­tip­le pages. A score’s page size is given in the first column, after its indexing arrow — BUT:

I’m also en­ga­ged in con­ver­ting scores to Ado­be® Ac­ro­bat® (.pdf) for­mat. As these be­come avail­able, you’ll see links with the icon ap­pear in the second column, click­ing on which will down­load the .pdf file to your com­puter and at­tempt to open it in your brow­ser with the Ac­ro­bat plug-​in (which you can get or up­date at Ado­be.com if you don’t have, and your brow­ser should auto­mat­ic­al­ly of­fer to down­load for you…), in a new window | tab — right click it if you want to control how it appears. Ac­ro­bat truly has ver­sa­tile view­ing and prin­ting ca­pa­bil­it­ies for this. Some of the files are quite large be­cause the scores are hi-​res bit­maps of pro­fes­sion­al quality. You can zoom or shrink scores to your pre­fer­red page size using op­tions in Ac­ro­bat’s print-​dia­log op­tions, and it also shows a small pre­view of how out­put will look, when it prints!

• Q means quarto,
• T tabloid,
• L letter (i.e., 8½"×11" [or 22×28cm.], or A4), and
• LG means le­gal (i.e., 8½"×14" [or 22×36cm.]).
• “p” after the paper size means it has portrait orientation (long-side up), and
• “l” after means it’s in landscape (long-side horizontal).

Pre­view an HTML-source print job graph­ic­ally, if pos­sible, be­fore com­mit­ting it to paper. For such, usu­al­ly, sel­ec­ting in the print dia­log to print from page 2 on only works best. Again, the source files are 300 DPI (118 pixel/cm.), so should print with su­perb qual­ity onto pa­per of the size for which it was des­igned. You can tai­lor Acro­bat prints to the out­put me­dia with far grea­ter flex­ib­il­ity, by using its print dia­log op­tions, and see a tiny pre­view.

If a piece has an icon-​link, this plays an .MP3 file of a MIDI-​real­ized ver­sion of it avail­able for down­load and au­dition, so you can get a better aur­al con­cept of it (e.g., first start its score view­er [.pdf or HTML], then hot-​key back & click this icon to hear the piece & follow along in the score). ©opy­right ex­ists for this mu­sic, and the same rules apply as for scores (see next para­graph).

NOTICE: Posting my scores, .MP3s and .MIDs on this Web site doesn’t con­stit­ute do­na­tion of the no­ta­tion or au­dio (re­lin­quis­hment of ©opy­right) or per­for­mance rights there­unto ap­per­tain­ing, to the public do­main. I re­tain and as­sert all such rights to per­for­mance and dis­sem­in­a­tion. You may down­load the score pages to view and print (or .MP3 or .MID re­cor­dings there­of for listening) to eval­u­ate off line (e.g., save the page image files such as .GIFs or .PNGs in a fol­der by selecting Save As from the right-​click pop-​up menu, and in Win­dows XP you can look at them off line as a slide show — and zoom again, as the view­er per­mits, or lis­ten with a me­dia play­er); but, please con­tact me to pur­chase the right to use this music, if you want to keep it, or for per­for­mance ar­range­ments, at the fol­low­ing ad­dres­ses:
