Hi everyone again. Before anyone panicks over A Blooming Ballad on IMSLP. I just want to explain:

It's not a reupload on what's on NKoda, I took that and compiled it into Sibelius, therefore it's nothing to do with graphic rights on making the file look nice. It's not the NKoda file, it's something completely different I made from it. It's now strictly musical rights, and since it's in public domain, it's safe. The graphic rights technically belongs to me, but I've marked it as CC 4.0, so have fun with it.

I have to say Nkoda does a damn good job with making it so you can't take pictures. Snipping Tool, Bandicam, Print Screen all return Black screens where Nkoda is. Just a shame that this means PD scores are trapped on there.

-Ross

Watching https://www.nkoda.com/work/A-Blooming-Ballad it seems there is a public domain cover but the score is retypeset! See their sample. AFAIK it is a derivative work in US.
