Each transcriber brings their own unique skills, experience, and style to the project. Pieces often contain specialist instruments that transcribers are not familiar with. Each piece uses a different set of instruments, so requires a different template score. Around 5 - 10 instruments for most pieces, but some have over 100 instruments!. The number of instruments in each piece. This was necessary to ensure the scores meet our guidelines and are consistent with other editions. We have received submissions for most of the works on the list, and the quality has generally been very good, but even the very best transcriptions have needed substantial reworking before being ready for publication. There has been a huge amount of interest from transcribers, yet turning this interest into progress has been more challenging. 
We have also made significant progress with the pieces selected by our Kickstarter backers, but we haven’t got as far as we were hoping to.
We also oversaw the digitisation of over 250 pieces for voice and piano as part of the OpenScore Lieder Corpus, proving that large scale crowdsourced music digitisation is possible. A lot has happened in the world of digital sheet music with a new app for IMSLP, the complete redesign of MuseScore’s website, its merger with Ultimate Guitar, and the release of MuseScore 2.3. It has already been a year since our Kickstarter campaign was successfully funded.
