Proper way to say this, is it "to" or "for"???

Question

I want to put some sheet music on my website. Which is the proper way to say it?
"Here is the sheet music for "Song Name""
or
"Here is the sheet music to "Song Name""

'for' sounds better, but I keep thinking it's 'to'.

"If you are looking for the sheet music for"
If I wanted to put that sentence, it doesn't sound right at all with two 'for's

Answer 1

I would say "sheet music for" because I think it sounds better to me, but either one would really be okay. It's really not a problem to use "for" twice in the sentence, but if you want to avoid that, you could say, "If you would like the sheet music for . . . "



Keep in mind, though, that unless you wrote the music, or it is music in the common domain, it is illegal to post sheet music for others to download!

Answer 2

Sheet music is a hand-written or printed form of musical notation; like its analogs -- books, pamphlets, etc. -- the medium of sheet music typically is paper, although the access to musical notation in recent years includes also presentation on computer screens. Use of the term "sheet" is intended to differentiate music on paper from an audio presentation, which would ensue from a sound recording, broadcast, or live performance, which may involve video as well. In everyday use, "sheet music" (or simply "music") can refer to the print publication of commercial music in conjunction with the release of a new film, show, record album, or other special or popular event which involves music.



A common alternative (and more generic) term for sheet music is score, and there are several types of scores, as discussed below. (Note: the term score can also refer to incidental music written for a play, television program, or film; for the last of these it could be "score"









You might want to say , If you are looking for the sheet music to, but "2 fors" would be ok.



Are you actually putting the sheet music or the lyrics. if it is the lyrics ? It might make a difference

Answer 3

Here is the sheet music to "?", not for. If you were to use for, then it should say here is the sheet music for the song "?".

Answer 4

for is correct



it does sound awkward repeating it twice (b/c of "looking for") in the second sentence. you can instead say "sheet music for [name of song] :" (use a colon if it's a link)

or,

"sheet music for [name of song] is available at -----"



hope this helps

Answer 5

either is acceptable, for is probably better grammar but anyway

Answer 6

The correct wording is "for".

Answer 7

okay either way, but I would use "for"

Answer 8

either.. i guess..
