From his recorded performances (available on YouTube), I notated what he was playing on the banjo and singing, and added the corresponding tablature. It was essential that I knew how his banjo was tuned and the "clawhammer" technique he was using.

I'm baffled. I can point to any number of publications of arrangements "based on" performances of folk musicians; are these publications violating the copyrights of the performers? What if I *hadn't* specified that my arrangement was based on the playing of Clarence Ashley. How would anyon...

I'm not doubting that Ashley was an arranger of the song but I guess I should have claimed that too. If I were to revise the score with that claim, would the copyright status change?

I'm interested in knowing why Clarence Ashley has been designated as the "arranger" of this submission. As far as I know, it has never been officially notated in any form. I've had no contact with Ashley whatsoever. Why shouldn't I be able to claim to be the arranger of my submission? Many...

My submission of two fugues arranged for recorders has been blocked for three days. Is there some problem? These arrangements were previously published by The Avondale Press but that publisher has folded and the copyrights have reverted to me.

This work was published in 1964. The composer, Glenn Gould, died in 1982. So it's clear that the original work is under copyright. But I've produced an arrangement for recorders. Would this qualify as a fair-use transformation?

How can I search for contributions that provide musicxml "engraving files"?

Musicologist Ross Duffin has recently published an article in The Musical Quarterly suggesting that O Canada, Canada's official anthem, was "constructed" by Calixa Lavallee from material by Mozart, Wagner, Liszt and Keller. I propose to submit to IMSLP an "arrangement" of O Canad...

Thank you. I thought the original message was exactly a request for permission. I only created a separate work page because I wasn't getting a reply. Just one clarification: when you say "this is probably going to be the last time were probably going to be accepting files like this on these pag...

I gave up waiting for a reply and created a new work page for March of the Priests.

I propose to upload an arrangement for recorders of the March of the Priests. Currently there is only one arrangement of this work (for string quartet). How can I get permission?

Okay, I found the Move link. Thanks.

The Page tab just displays the scores/arrangements and I don't see a Move link anywhere. Is "+Move" something I don't understand?

I just created a work page for Opus 3 Number 3 but I titled it "Trio Sonata" rather than "Trio Sonata in B minor" like the other Opus 3 works that have their own work page. I don't believe I can fix this myself. The link at the Opus 3 collection page will have to be corrected too.

The urtext score on the page for HWV 338 is actually the score for HWV 339.
