Hello!

As an amateur composer, I'm drawn to the idea of making my music available for others to view and listen to for the purposes of getting feedback. I thought I'd remembered seeing a community online for such a thing a few years back, but now I'm struggling to find anything like that on the web. Where do people go to upload their Finale scores for others?

A search on Google for composer forums brings up a number of possibilities.

Hmm. The one I thought I recalled seeing a few years ago seemed to allow for uploading .mus files. The interface was similar to the Finale application, where the sheet music was visible and there was a playback feature. Below that, people could leave comments on that.

Now I can't seem to find any trace of that site. I realize there are plenty of forums where people can simply link to a PDF and a recording, but I asked the question here hoping to see some discussion on what the best/preferred community for sharing compositions and getting feedback might be.

MakeMusic, or perhaps it was called Coda then, used to have that, but it's gone.
