Summary/Abstract: The article seeks to review and evaluate the situation of the production of Lithuanian digital music sheets by applying the descriptive, analytical and comparative research methods. The characteristics and particularities of digital music sheets productions are provided in parallel with the main aim for the research.The conclusion is made that the production of Lithuanian digital music sheets is still a marginal area in music production. However, it is rapidly developing and evolving into new forms of dissemination.Lithuanian digital music sheets are published on both Lithuanian and foreign websites.Two types of such publications can be distinguished: publications on the websites of various Lithuanian and foreign institutions (stable visual image, usually a PDF-format) and publications on the websites of specialised music software producers where users have the possibility to adapt music pieces to their needs before acquiring them (variable visual image, usually specific format).
