Misc. Notes #29778: This file is from the MIT archive project.
scan: score scanned at 600dpi
filter: score filtered with 2-point algorithm explained in High Quality Scanning. I provide the original scanned version and the filtered, because the filter does some changes (smoothening, sharpening borders) and some portions of the scan get lost sometimes (when they are too small e.g.) - so you can choose your favorite. You may ask me for a manually cleaned version.

Misc. Notes Simplified version requiring less skill. Created manually using notation software. Created because the Robert Keller 1889 version scan has poor quality and original plates were destroyed in world war 2.
