Development
The Wikifonia system was developed in a collaboration between
several institutes of higher education in
Ghent
(Belgium).
March 2005 the researchers of the project received the
Creativity to Business Award from AUGent (Ghent
University Association).[1]
The system went life on
6 November 2006.[2]
Copyrights
The Wikifonia system aims as well at the creation of music,
at the publication of
public domain traditionals, as at the publication of
previously copyrighted music.
Music published on the Wikifonia website is licensed by
Musi©opy, a music copyright clearance organisation based in
the
Netherlands.[2][3]
The actual rights are paid by the Wikifonia foundation, a
non-profit organisation founded in July 2006.[4]
Wiki
The Wikifonia website can be browsed, and the sheet music
downloaded in
PDF or
musicXML format, without login or subscription.
Uploading music, in musicXML format, and commenting on
published music require login or registration.
