But here's a PS:

"Publishing" includes typesetting more than one copy and handing it 
round to friends: writing out a copyright tune by hand, copying it by 
any means and distributing that:course music of any sort: workshops: 
and so on, and so on. Yes, really - I'm not kidding.

In practice we get away with it, but anyone who does any of these 
things without specific permission should be aware of what they are 
doing. One day a litigious composer / copyright holder could come 
back and get shirty.

And don't copy out Happy Birthday for distribution: people in the 
States have been prosecuted by the copyright holder (Michael Jackson) 
for doing just that.

Anyone who *really* needs to know the potential danger areas in 
Northumbrian music of which I am presently aware is welcome to 
contact me - offlist.

Cheers
Julia
