Period '''sheet music''' was, often, written using slightly different [[musical notation]] to modern sheet music.

Period sheet music is, as one would expect, now in the [[public domain]] (though modern edited versions of songs may not be). There are several projects that aim to archive public domain sheet music, one of which is [[Mutopia]].
