There are hundreds of scores in high resolution, but there seems to be no way to download pdf's

Hi there. What a fantastic source! Unfortunetly there is no practical way to obtain PDF's of the score. However, like most things, there is an impractical way which involves saving the images and converting them with a PDF editor

I used this source 4 years ago for my typesetting of the ouverture to Salieris "Cesare in Farmacusa" (La tempesta di mare).
I thougt, that this collection of operas is well known to the specialists, otherwise I would had mentioned it earlier. I found
a pdf of the manuscript on my computer. As far as I remember, I saved side by side as jpg and transformed then all sides
to a single pdf. Perhaps there is a way for saving the sides one after another automatically.

I'm working on a Python script to grab the scans of one of these scores and compile them into a PDF. Is there one in particular that someone is interested in having?

First come, first served.

How about one of the Rossini vocal scores?

It should be fairly easy to get the individual images automatically using curl or any other download manager on the console.
