Anyone know if stores are selling downloadable sheet music yet? We can buy mp3 music online, but I haven't seen any sheet music yet.

http://www.virtualsheetmusic.com is a PDF selling site, but only carries music in the public domain.

Thanks everyone. Quite a few places to look.
Some of them I know already and in fact I have a whole list of free sites to which I'm keen to add more and will then post.
What made me think of this were the recent threads about Pieces that make you cry and Unaccompanied pieces for audition.
It got me looking around for the mp3 files and sheet music and I thought it would be great if we could just buy them as pdf files and be looking at them within a few hours.
For mp3 files, I find eclassical.com very reasonable. Now I have to explore the sheet music sites.

You didn't specify what type of music you're looking for (clarinet music only? orchestral scores?) but the largest collection of classical sheet music I'm aware of is the International Music Score Library Project at http://imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page
They have something like 7,000 complete scores from legitimate publishers that have expired copyright. So you get an actual, fully edited and annotated score from a "true" publisher (e.g. Edition Peters). And it's free - almost too good to be true.
They've been online for about a year now and are continuing to grow, so keep checking back if they don't have what you're looking for.

Another place is, The Joseph Patelson Music House in NYC, www.patelson.com. Their website isn't so hot, but if you know what you want, they can usually get for you if they don't have it in stock.
