The standard policy, in the past, was that you could write 1 and 1 only custom chart for 1 band without getting pemission. If you sold a second copy to someone, that would be considered unauthorised publishing.
BUT NOW, things are different. Often times it's not difficult to get permission but they might ask for a fee comparible to the published chart ($50 to $100) or they might not reguire a fee. I ask the client to take care of that. I'm waiting right now for a band in Ohio to get permission from Belwin to write a Robert W. Smith show. It shouldn't be a problem. On the other side of the coin: NOBODY can get permission to write an arrangement, for any group, of any John Williams music. So, I guess it's just case by case.
