a) require payment, as with anybody else.
b) hand it over, but nag for its return or purchase after a month or two.
c) hand it over, and hope that maybe you'll get it back someday, not too shopworn. Or that a set of parts will be purchased/rented and the piece actually performed.
d) some other routine I haven't thought of.
I'm not asking this about composers, who obviously have an interest in providing free copies of their music to any potential performer, but strictly about publishers, who print and distribute music for money.
I'd appreciate conductors' thoughts on this, too. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
