Method and System for Electronic Publishing and Distribution of Printed Sheet Music

摘要

Described are methods and systems, including computer program products, for distributing printed sheet music. The method includes storing a set of one or more digital-print files and a set of one or more digital-audio files in a computer-readable storage medium on a back-end server. Each digital-print file includes sheet music information associated with one of the digital-audio files. Each, digital-print file and digital-audio file is associated with one or more audio identifiers. An application programming interface (API) is provided for client systems remote from the back-end server to retrieve a list of the set of one or more digital-print files and to preview the digital-audio and digital-print files. A purchase order is received for the first digital-print file from the remote client system using the API. A digital watermark is inserted into the first digital-print file. The watermarked digital-print file is transmitted to the remote client system.
