There follows a selected list of resources on Valaam chant. Most of them lead to MP3s or referecnes to discs (which may be of use), but some of them are rather more than that, as you will see. Only one would seem to have PDF music:

There is a Valaam Chant site I'd like to add, it's http://orthodox/tstu.ru/darja/note.html. You'll get quite a few pages of melodies in print. One caveat: they're in RAR, not PDF. (The other caveat is the usual with Cyrillic.) I got RAR, and went through the toil of putting them on my hard drive, and can send them to you if you like. Caveat No 3 is you may want to do a load of laundry or something during the load time. Darja also has Znamenny from a book by Uspensky. It is downloaded much more simply, but in the few cases where a given item extends to 2 pages, the top of p 2 is squeezed. This also occurs in many other sites. That can be overcome by Save As, and pasted into a Word document as a graphic, where it comes out unsqueezed.
