There are already approx. 8000 entries in a searchable online version
at www.sneezy.org/clarinet/Databases/ComposerForm.html that I've put
together (along with a couple of friends). Additions/updates to that
would be most welcome.

A note on the copyright - only the pages & layout themselves will be
copyrighted, not the information. Data in a collection cannot be
copyrighted (meaning anyone is free to copy everything you've done into
their own database). There is a famous court case where this came .

Cheers,
