They read well and I like how they are more condensed. Before I saw your email I looked at the best practices examples[1] again and came up with the following versions that more closely follow them, but they are less condensed. For creative commons: This piece is from the Mutopia Project (www.mutopiaproject.org), typeset in standard music notation using LilyPond by Nikos Kouremenos (Mutopia-2014/03/24-519), used under a Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 4.0 International License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/). Modified from the original version: translated into Clairnote music notation using LilyPond. For public domain: This piece is from the Mutopia Project (www.mutopiaproject.org), typeset in standard music notation using LilyPond and placed in the public domain by Stelios Samelis (Mutopia-2012/12/23-931). Modified from the original version: translated into Clairnote music notation using LilyPond.

I've been including those live links in the PDF files, but I read somewhere that for print media you should include the URL of the license, but maybe this is not needed for online distribution. I think I like having the full ID listed since that fully identifies the source. I do link to each piece on the Mutopia site on my web page, but I haven't been doing this in the PDF files themselves. One thing I'm thinking about is the balance between giving credit to the typesetter and the Mutopia Project, without implying that they endorse the modified version. (Which you're not supposed to do with a cc license.) So that's why I've been including the "in standard music notation" phrase, but maybe that's not needed, depending on how things are worded. Thanks again, -Paul
