Default Searching/Sorting by Period

Okay, this might be a little esoteric, but I was actually wanting to do this the other day within the sheet music catalog.

It would be interesting to add the period to each composer (Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic), so that you could search by period, or, for example, list all compositions for a specific instrument by period.

Anyway, maybe that's a strange request, but I thought it would be useful.

Yeah, it would also be helpful if you could download all the midis at once instead of clicking for days.

Yes, we'll consider to implement that feature.

About MIDI files, we are working to allow to download them packaged as a .zip file in the final download page (as for the sheet music). Hopefully the new system will be ready in a couple of months (we have a lot of testing to do here!).

Thank you.
