These public domain scores are created using a commercial software package called Finale (see www.codamusic.com), and are saved in that program's proprietary .MUS format. They are not MIDI files, and require special software in order to use them. However, it is not however necessary to own Finale in order to view, print, play and to some extent even edit the music. Specifically, there is a downloadable "reader" program called Notepad 2002 available from the CodaMusic website. It is available for free, in both Mac and PC binary formats. Once installed, opening a .MUS file will launch the program. The program uses common window navigation controls and a standard "tape deck" style interface to the audio controls (just click the green arrow to play a file!). For further information regarding the use of the other controls on the toolbar, please consult the Index located under the Help Menu item.

There are numerous other high quality software packages, and that the selection of this format for an initial release is in no way meant to endorse or preclude any alternative. Specifically, intends to make available musical selections from the Public Domain in all formats for which there is interest.
