Sharing music scores with the world: Musescore.com

Lately I use Musescore for my harmony lessons, but I didn't know about the new service in http://musescore.com/ to easily upload music score and share them over the Internet.

The site is still in alpha version, but it works pretty well already. As a test, I got the Harmony exercise for this week and (from within Musescore itself) I uploaded it to Musescore.com in a matter of minutes (http://musescore.com/score/3533). From there you can listen to the composition and download the score in different formats: MuseScore, PDF, MusicXML, MIDI or even MP3. Cool!

EDIT (24/5/2011): In the end, after a few corrections suggested by the harmony teacher, the final score (which was played together with the compositions of other students on 20/5/2011) is here.

My first guitar (named Cecile) finished...

Being able to spend only a few hours every month (and nothing some months), it has taken me a while to finish the guitar I was building, but it is now finished:

Some pictures of the progress can be seen in https://picasaweb.google.com/txibilis/Luthier

The finishing technique used was French Polish, which is quite difficult to get right (specially in the front side), so the end result is clearly not professional, but before I put any more effort into its looks, I want to make sure that its sound is worth the effort... so I'm just waiting for the shellac to harden and then I will do the February recording with it (and then, if the sound is good enough, I will try to fix the finishing in the front during the summer holidays).
