What? ...also, if you listen, it's hard to forget....players are easily influenced. They will ignore what you wrote in lieu of what they heard.

Because publishing goes hand-in-hand with copyright. 98.65% of the time, the publisher will keep the copyright to the works they publish. In fact, the only time I've seen it otherwise is when the composer is such a big name that he has a huge amount of clout behind him. An example I can think of is Aaron Copland owning his own copyright while Boosey & Hawkes publishes it. (I speak, of course, of original pieces, not arrangements which are different.) To put it plainly, always be wary of a publisher saying that *you* get to keep copyright; they're probably selling you something.

Perhaps this is the perfect opportunity to learn?

For what? Depending on precisely what's happening, potential funding requirements can be $0.00 ...

While I don't disagree with a lot of what you're saying, I have to take issue with: ... We go through the same theory/harmony/counterpoint/history courses as everyone else.... :whistling:

You guys don't have this: ? Perhaps is only a Mod thing. OOPS.

Read my previous post closely ;) Look at YOUR "group, posts, joined" section.... should be just below all that. Says "update avatar" ... otherwise, go to your profile. Edit profile. (on the left ) edit profile icon...should be pretty obvious :whistling:

Did you look for it? ...try looking closer at your post. <------- right over there. ;)

Fair enough.... I guess there's bound to be a few that are gone for good. From what I can tell, however, the case of the missing mp3's and score files seems to have been generally resolved.

*tests 5 random pieces, all work fine* What's wrong with them?

You realize it's already been fixed, right?

I would like the option of "liking" something, but not having it on my "playlist". I can give something an appreciative nod, without wanting it as a favorite on my playlist....
