(I posted this topic in the wrong spot, so am reposting): I am about ready to upload a score created from parts already on the site. Parts are public domain. Should I choose public domain when I upload the score?
What about a piano reduction? Advice on which copyright I should choose for that?
Score created from parts, what copyright should I use?

No one has advice on this?

If you created a new typset, it is not public domain because you own the intellectual property rights on your typeset, which has to be considered as a new edition of the original work. You may therefore select one of the Creative Commons licenses to define the uses that you permit.chris.bradshaw wrote:Should I choose public domain when I upload the score?
Same as above, although a piano reduction may contain sufficient original elements to be considered as a new work rather than as a new edition only.chris.bradshaw wrote:What about a piano reduction? Advice on which copyright I should choose for that?
