I'm working on a personal project to re-typeset the most significant of the Baroque chorale preludes for organ. The re-typeset chorales will be published on Mutopia.
Public domain scores are readily available for the works of the giants of the period -- Boehm, Pachelbel, Buxtehude, and J.S. Bach, and I have these in hand. I also have a manuscript facsimile for J.C.F. Fischer's chorales, and the Seiffert edition of Zachou's chorales is already on IMSLP.
I would appreciate the assistance of anyone who can provide scans of public domain editions of chorale preludes by: Walther, Krebs, Scheidt, and minor composers of the era such as other Bachs, Hanff, Armsdorf, Kittle, Alberti, Buttstedt, Marpurg, and the like.

The one PraeludiumUndFuge refers to is at [[Ariadne Musica (Fischer, Johann Caspar Ferdinand)]]. There is also a typeset I posted at [[Preludes and Fugues for Organ, BWV 549-560 (Bach, Johann Sebastian)]].
Both of the typesets are my own work. Ariadne Musica is based primarily on the manuscript, a facsimile of which I have in hand, and the Eight Short Preludes and Fugues is based primarily on Bach-Gesellschaft. For both, other scholarly sources were consulted; the Eight includes full references including a list of all departures from Bach-Gesellschaft. Ariadne Musica is, generally, faithful to the manuscript, though I have crosschecked it against the 1935 Schott edition.
