I assume the examples are fairly small, less than a page. What I would do is to make them as small as possible for illustrating your point. Then I can't see how this can be anything other than "fair use". As a courtesy it might be worth writing to the publishers and telling them what you are doing. It's a long time since I worked for a music publisher, but I can't see them having any objections. You can also butter them up a bit by saying they are "examples of best practice" /Bernard _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
