No Download option for 100+ public domain Beethoven sonata scores from Classicman
Hi there,
Classicman has 104 scores in his complete Beethoven piano sonata set: https://musescore.com/user/19710/sets/54311.
All scores in that set are marked with the blue "Public Domain" label.
As a logged in basic account user, I'm not seeing a Download option for any score in that set.
I read that uploaders can restrict downloads for certain songs, but it seems a little odd for Classicman to have restricted downloads for every single one of his piano sonatas that are marked public domain.
Is this just a bug that can (hopefully) be resolved soon? Did Classicman restrict downloads to all songs in that set? Or maybe public domain scores undergoing verification of their public domain status are not downloadable until fully verified?
*Edit: I'm looking to download the MusicXML sources of those scores, so printing to PDF (with a premium account) isn't what I'm looking for.

Well, they do have:
License © None (All rights reserved)
And a Pro account doesn't help, so indeed it looks like he disabled download.
BTW: Printing, and via that accessing a PDF, does not requite a Pro account.
But whatever, here at musescore.org you're at the wrong place to discuss this.
So just ask classicman himself, if he didn't disable download, bring this up on musescore.com, like in https://musescore.com/groups/improving-musescore-com/
I just left a corresponding comment on his

And his response is: As I have explained in other scores, I have experienced far too many reuploads where other people claim they have uploaded my transcriptions themselves. My only concern is the MuseScore files, though. If I had the ability only to disable the download option for this single file format, I would let the other file formats be downloadable.
