Maybe there could be a "You should have received the Mutopia license
with this music" printed in the tagline.

Yes, I have never heard a broadcast mention the edition of a work
(but sometimes they are on CD-sleeve notes.)

You can't have "suggestions" in a license. Either you are required to
do something, or you aren't. Suggestions are neither, so they have no
place. Of course one can add a note after the license, suggesting to
credit mutopia. Maybe a little explanation would even help, e.g.,
"The mutopia project could use more publicity, and you can help
us by giving us credit when performing music from our
editions. "
