That sounds like an interesting idea. Let us know after you receive the CD if it is worthwhile.

I recently purchased the very CD that is shown in the link at Borders.
It is all that the blurb says it is.
The only drawback is that (unless there is a preference option I missed) there is a difficulty in followng the score on the screen because of the way one staff pops up to replace the previous staff. It is hard to read ahead and you lose a split second reorienting to the next measure on the next staff.
But, you can print the music on to hard copy.
Other than that, the quaility of the recording is fine with good presence.
If you are going to play along with some of the recordings, non professionals might find it challenging to keep up with some of the selections.

If you did not ask about it, I would never have considered the quality of the print an issue. I am using a HP LaserJet 1100 and I get a professional print result. The size is good. Top line to bottom line, the staff is 1/3 inch tall with each space being 1/16 tall.
The initial option for printing seems to be printing all parts. For example, as I look at the print out of Quintet B-Dur / B flat major by C.M. von Weber, it prints out all 5 staffs; the parts for Clarinetto in B, Violino I, Violino II, Viola and Cello.
I have to go back to the CD to see if the clarinet part can be isolatated but I don't have that much time this morning. I look at as soon as I can and let you know.

The staff is 1/4 inch tall, not 1/3.

I have already spent some time with this album also, and find no fault with it. When you look at all the features, It's amazing that it's only $16.99.
You can isolate the parts in MIDI mode. I edited the Beethoven Duo for B-flat Clarinet by exporting the score as a MIDI file and editing in Sibelius.
Note that these same folks also have a fine album for flute called Syrinx.

I bought the CD earlier this year because I wanted the recording and didn't realize that the other features were there. I happened to notice a sticker on the jewel case about putting the thing in a CD-ROM drive and tried it out, and was pleasantly surprised with the extra features. I even visited the Deutsche Gramophon web site and found a disk I wanted to get my wife with the same thing (it's called CD-pluscore) for solo piano for my wife. It was already out of print and unavailable. I don't think DG ever really marketed the feature and it never caught on. I thought it was a great idea.
