Some jurisdictions honor the concept of an "engraving" copyright, covering the appearance of the subject material, as distinct and possibly separate from "editorial" copyright, covering the content of that material. Work being done in those jurisdictions should spell out who is entitled to how much of which copyright. As I understand the US. copyright law and regulations, US law does not support such an appearance copyright, (though I have misplaced the citation that backs this up) so it would seem to me that the question might not apply in the U.S. ns. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
