OpenScore
I registered for OpenScore weeks ago, but have not heard much since then.
I would like to help the transcribing effort & I don't need the incentive of an account on musescore.com, so when can I get started on something?
Cheers
Don.

The fundraising period is ongoing: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/openscore/openscore-join-the-sheet… In three weeks, assuming the goal is met (if it's not, there's no funding at all), things will begin in earnest.

I don't need the MuseScore.com incentive, so I don't need the kickstarter funding to reach its target.
If someone can give me a link to a score to start on & someone is available to check the transcription at the end, I'll get going. (Sorry - getting impatient! ;-)
I can see that the OpenScore project could be very useful to the Machine Learning dudes, so is there a standard way to add some tags to the MusicXML e.g.
- Approximate (ABRSM / LCM / Trinity) Grade.
- Genre (classical / baroque / romantic etc.).
- Structure (e.g. minuet and trio, rondo etc.).
- Dates etc.
- Major/minor key.
- Can anyone suggest other useful tags?

The fundraiser needs to succeed for us to be able to put OpenScore in place. For contributing scores, the infrastructure is in place. But for making sure that there is a system for continuous editing/reviewing of the published works, there is quite some work needed. And that's just one of the challenges. It won't happen in case the budget is not reached. What we need help with most now is spreading the word. Thx!
About a week ago I was asked if I had any scores I would contribute, so they are starting to contact people.
