Best site ever if you're a classical musician!
I contribute $2 USD a month to Petrucci/IMSLP for the same reason I contribute $3 a month to Wikipedia and $11 a month to WNYC: for the greater good of human civilization.
Dream Theater fans will note that this is Ottaviano, not John Petrucci. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Petrucci
“He was born in Fossombrone. Around 1490 he went to Venice to learn the art of printing. [...] Petrucci's later work was extraordinary for the complexity of his white mensural notation and the smallness of his font, and he did in fact print the first book of polyphony using movable type.“

Yes it is, or even if you're just a classical music fan who likes to listen while following along with the score. I contribute $2 USD a month to Petrucci/IMSLP for the same reason I contribute $3 a month to Wikipedia and $11 a month to WNYC: for the greater good of human civilization.
Before Petrucci, I used to be a regular user/contributor of the Mutopia project [1]. Its purpose is to provide Lilypond [2] source files for scores: this allows users to create MIDI files or re-create PDF files using custom page layouts/line breaks/etc. These features are handy, but creating a Lilypond file from a score is much more time-consuming than simply scanning it and uploading to Petrucci. (Each of Mozart's and Haydn's string quartet I uploaded took me ~2 weeks of work.)

It's mostly jazz, blues, rock and pop, as opposed to classical music. Each piece of music is synced with at least one performance recording.
