This is an interesting article on the subject, aimed mostly at the wonderful IMSLP http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/22/arts/music/22music-imslp.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all

Interesting reading, David.
Hopefully, it won't drag the site down again as it did a few years ago. One downside to IMSLP is the "editions" (like for organ scores of Bach) are the Gesselschaft Edition, certainly not as good, imo, as the Dupre or Schweitzer from an accuracy standpoint.
I've downloaded thousands of organ scores from that site ... it's my virtual library addition to my 3 legal sized filing cabinets of printed scores.

Lars - take a look at the full score of Schoenberg's massive Gurre-Lieder, needs to be printed in large format (broadsheet! or A3 at the least). Love it, such a luscious and richly scored work.

I see that WIMA, another source of free scores, is considering some changes and a discussion is ongoing at this site

I see they have all of John Stanley's Op 5,6 & 7 voluntaries, but only one of his concertos Op10 No 6.
