Hi guys,

I downloaded some hand written sheet music a while back and the quality is pretty bad and I was wondering if anyone can help me make it better or know of any techniques I could use in either Seashore or GIMP to improve it?

how do you want to use it as you may be able to get away with some enlarging to a larger than needed, unsharp filter and then reduce down to size with a subtle blur if needed if it isn't anything close up.
Dust might work with a despeckle (note it might be called different in gimp)
 
I did something like this with an image of the Declaration of Independence using PhotoShop. I selected the black and put it on it.s own layer, then added my own background.
 
Here's a quick variation of Designer Dale's technique.
