How do these people think composers are supposed to survive? Nuts!

Hi Klaus,
They aren't willing to pay a rental fee at all! Obviously, if it
weren't for the fact that a player in my band really wants to
perform this piece in the competition, I would not be sending them
the music.
I may take the trouble to watermark the score and parts, though, as
you suggest.
Cheers,

Solve the problem by setting the licensing fee at $70.
Mark the score & each part with an expiration date for the rental
license.
Will cost you some work, but should teach the band a lesson. If
they like the music, they will have to buy it from you once more.

Hi all,
Is there a boilerplate sheet music rental license available
online anywhere I could take a look at?
I never thought I'd be in a situation where I would want to
license my music for a specific performance only, but
there's a trumpet player in my band who wants to perform one
of my bigband works at the Carmine Caruso jazz trumpet
competition. However, the competition's house band (one of
the US Armed Services bands) is too damn cheap to actually
purchase the piece (which, incidentally, is only $70).
The trumpet player in my band still wants to perform the
piece, and of course I'm willing to oblige him. The
competition has requested that I send PDFs of the piece to
the military band -- I'm okay with that too. But what I
DON'T want is for the military band to keep the piece in
their library after they've performed it at the Caruso
competition. So I need to send them some kind of license
that precludes additional performances.
Cheers,
- Darcy
