How about Mutopia?  http://www.mutopiaproject.org/

While most of the music on Mutopia are typeset with GNU LilyPond,
it seems to me that both Mutopia and the GMD Music Archive have similar
goals: to help share beautiful sheet music to everyone for free.

It would be really nice to see the GMD Music Archive become part of Mutopia. 
Probably in a separate section, or perhaps eventually merged into one,
whatever works.  I hope that this will also help to gather the talents of
MusiXTeX and LilyPond (etc.) users.  :-)

Cheers,

Anthony
