Discover@MU includes musical scores. Search a composer's name (surname first!) as an author.
Examples: León, Tania Saariaho, Kaija Britten, Benjamin
Then use the Source Type drop down to filter by format - Music Scores.
*Note: you may find listings for online scores that are licensed by UMKC. Unfortunately the vendors don't allow us to share online resources as we share print resources. To exclude these from your search add NOT ("Streaming audio" OR "Electronic audio file") to your search. See an example.
