I'm predicting the responces to this topic are going to be pretty bleak, so let's let the bashing begin!

Hmm...I remember getting the Bach Passacaglia and Fugue - actually very nice. Overpirced, of course, but a wonderful typeset better than any edition I could name.
And we don't want to bash too much, as they suggested a partnership (some archive of Carolus's Talk Page).

Wow, really?

Well, the bad experience I had with their sheet music was with the articulation markings. There were literally "off the walls." The piano music might be better but their clarinet music needs a little trimming. Now I didn't think the scores were overpriced though.

I also feel kind of embarrassed bringing their sheet music into private lessons. It just doesn't seem right. Not just because it is a relatively unknown publisher but it is a typeset from the internet. People like my teacher are just unfamiliar with that kind of material and don't feel comfortable using it.

In the meantime I'm going to check out Lord Carolus's talk page.

Hmm...indeed...how do you feel about bringing IMSLP music in?

We never heard back from them, though.
