      I used to post on Pianoshelf, but looks like they are closing down. I don’t need fancy conversion or interactions with fans or DRM, etc. Just want to make them available for anyone who might possibly be interested in looking at it. I haven’t been able to find any free sites that host PDFs publicly, without requiring logins. Ads are fine. None of my music is NSFW. 🙂

      I wish SoundCloud would allow PDF files to be attached to the recording. That would be perfect.

      Thanks!

        MuseScore.com

        Users can create a free account but downloads are limited. Those of us with paid accounts can download scores as .pdf, MuseScore, MusicXML and .mp3 as are available. Those scores marked Official are not included in the free downloads; they’re sold by Hal Leonard, the largest music publisher in the world and a wholly owned subsidiary of Muse Group.

        If your works are properly registered, Hal Leonard will pay you for downloads. If arranging other peoples works under Copyright, Hal Leonard has another service called ArrangeMe where, if your arrangement qualifies, you get 10% of the sales of your arrangements. My daughter recently received a $977 check from that.

        All works uploaded to MuseScore.com must be done in MuseScore. ArrangeMe does not have this requirement (yet?).

        Oh, you don’t want anything that requires a sign-in… That’s not the way the world works.

          If you are a real composer (you make something meaningfull, have an education in composing or something that matches in experience) , you can take a look at sonolize.com
          You will get more then the little fee of Hal Leonard Publishing.
          Sonolize offers you 70 %, that’s a lot more then 10 %.
          Most of my pieces are published by sonolize.
          First I make a score in Encore (for example).
          Then I export the file as pfd.
          I separate the pdf in pages.
          I place it in Swift Publisher.
          I Make an pdf file again and put it on sonolize with an audio file or midi file.
          Than you have to sell it, to people that like or play your music.Take a look at my pieces to understand.
          All made with Encore 5,Old computer, G5. I have two of them, together with the Mac mini. THAT HAS A LOT OF MORE POWER.
