For example, if I purchase sheet music in pdf form, can I upload it to my Zotero server legally if the only people accessing it are authorized to do so?

we'll definitely do something about music scores. I'm still not sure how best to do it - just adding an item type with a lot of new fields has its downsides - but we'll try to improve this as much as

Can you bump this if and when the music score type comes through? I'm not sure how strong the metadata is on scores at IMSLP, but it'd certainly be great to support it.

IMSLP/Petrucci Music Library is a large resource of public domain sheet music. Scores/parts (and sometimes audio files) are listed on a page representing a given work (e.g. http://imslp.org/wiki/Symph

You can contribute to the discussion on muscial scores by reading the thread I link to and being more explicit about what exactly it is that music scores need. So far we haven't gotten further than "c
