Improved Composition Database
Written by Administrator   

We are proud to present to you the new and improved display of the MusMap Composition Database which we have been testing for the past few days. As you may have noticed when you now go to a composer profile the list of composition is now displayed in a different fashion than before. In addition to the title of the piece you can still see in which catagories the piece is placed (which gives a rough idea about the instrumentation of the piece) but more importantly you can see straight away if there is a sound example or a score uploaded with the piece.
