You are right Oliver, and I don't down load them any longer. Only
after seeing the first few and realizing how bad they were, I
stopped using them.

So now that we both agree that the other can't spell or can't
edit, let's call this unvaluable discussion to a halt.

If you don't like any of them, Dan, don't download them. They
are
only for people who find them to be of value. There must be some
who
enjoy taking them from where they are to something better, to be
sure. When my university had Web monitoring software, Oliver's
(mostly) Clarinet Music Page was enjoying around a hundred hits
per
day. I don't know what people were doing with the files, but
they
are free and I encourage them to use them in any way they wish.

I have gotten a few comments on errors here and there which I
have
corrected. All have been more polite than yours several years
ago
when you wrote "For God's sake Oliver, do something with that
ending," which I did.
As you may recall it was a bass clef note put in a treble clef
staff
at the same relative position.
