Hello

Does anybody know where I can find music notes for rags, boogies, blues and / or modern rock and pop music for free? I'm searching for a site like e.g. freesheetmusic.org

Thank you very much

Not sure if this is much help, or indeed how authoritative it is, but there seems to be a huge amount of information here regarding notable ragtime, pieces and has plenty of MIDI excerpts of ragtime pieces.

Try here:

this takes to Univ. of Colorado's scan of  Euday Bowman's 12th Street Rag.

You can jump to the Library's Home from it;

And......If you Google a Rag title you should get other Libraries hits similar to it.
