I will point out that the file https://github.com/music-encoding/sample-encodings/blob/main/MEI_4.0/Music/Complete_examples/Scarlatti_Sonata_in_C_major.mei

is a derivative electronic edition of this file https://github.com/craigsapp/scarlatti-keyboard-sonatas/blob/master/kern/L001K514.krn

which has a more restrictive license: https://github.com/craigsapp/scarlatti-keyboard-sonatas/blob/master/LICENSE.txt https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
