In response to the request from Humanist, I, too, have my share of
anecdotal evidence for the lack of music data retrieval tools, but know of
no authoritative statement of the problem.
I am not completely sure what the inquirer means by "music data" or what
kinds of "music" he wants data about. (An obvious problem in the
construction of search tools is the breadth of the subject and the
disparate nature of the resources: are scores what is wanted? audio
files? information about musics? and so forth.) It might help to know
more specifically what the desideratum is.
Indiana University has a good online set of references for music
information (about which you probably know). I suspect, however, that
even this site is more limited in scope than is wanted.
