This discuss has me thinking that there are two conflicting needs at work
here. On one hand, as pointed out by John and others, there are already
fields in place where copyright related information can be included. On the
other hand, represented by Laura and whoever it was that started off this

So, what would you actually like to write in your abc files?
I see your point, but...
I'm basically talking about where to put the copyright statement on the
bottom of the first page of original sheet music of musical tunes.
Just noticed that \251 in octal is equal to 169 decimal. (but I'm sure
everybody's going to tell me that:-)
But why octal? The last time I used base-8 for anything was when I used
a Digital PDP 8 computer with a twelve bit word length, and octal made

For instance I take the melody for a jazz standard from the original
sheetmusic, which says something like Copyright 1954 by Chappel Co,
Inc. Copyright renewed in the footer of the first page
I would write that in the B: field (for book). Something like
B:The Best Jazz Fake Book, 1954

We haven't got that one yet.
I am wondering what you actually want to express by using these fields.
Perhaps we should try some examples:
So. Now in those two examples: What kind of copyright are you after?

Hi
What would be the officially correct header (if any) to indicate which
record a transcribtion is made from (Z, S, D?) Same with copyright
information (right now I use %% copyright).
Thanks in advance...
