As of 25.12.2013, Wikifonia, the on-line
publisher of sheet music which combined a Music
XML-based technology in a wiki system, with
copyright clearance, is a thing of the past. If one
brings up the site, there is a message,
“Wikifonia is not available anymore. Find sheet music
on musescore.com.”
So… it is no more! It has ceased to be! It is now 'istory! It has run down the
curtain. IT IS AN EX-SITE!
Ah well, it was good while it lasted… as
the soprano said to the sexton!
I have removed the blog ‘SPOTS BEFORE YOUR
EYES’, where I gave information about Wikifonia.
It’s the Araby sandwich syndrome! Let me
explain… when I was a whippersnapper, one of my
favourite biscuits was called “Araby
sandwich”, which comprised a date filling, in a sealed sandwich of softish biscuit. I
believe they were made by Fox’s of Batley, but I could be wrong on that count,
and a search on the worldwide web has produced zippo. However, whoever made
them stopped making them, and never started again. I used to like kidney soup,
which was available in tins, but this appears to have disappeared off the face
of the planet. Parkinson’s Doncaster
butterscotch went missing, then had a revival a few years back, but that appears to have been short
lived. And there’s more…
Having had a look at musescore.com site , I
reckon it doesn’t really compare with Wikifonia. Someone has recommended
chordmusic.com, which might be a better bet.
