Sounds to me like his main evidence is discretion. There is always the option to print what you want and make a footnote mentioning "Original publication has ...". -- David Kastrup ___ Mutopia-discuss mailing list Mutopia-discuss@mutopiaproject.org http://lists.bcn.mythic-beasts.com/mailman/listinfo/mutopia-discuss

Also, I almost forgot: Is there a reason that there is no music category for "Ragtime"? Categorizing a song written in 1901 as "Jazz" seems just wrong.

[Mutopia-discuss] I've re-created a ly file for Scott Joplin's The Easy Winners
The existing file for Scott Joplin's "The Easy Winners" had a few mismatches with the original publication. When I tried to fix those, I found that the way the file was using voices made it almost uneditable. So I re-created, from the original notes, a setup for it. Now I've got a few questions: * I introduced an intentional inaccuracy for one note. The original note sounds wrong, and it is also not anyone I found online plays the piece. Are intentional changes acceptable? * The original file contained a footer. I found no reference to that footer in the docs. I'm not sure whether I need to create it. * I think the name under which the file currently reside (winners) is not particularly easy to find. In general, I think the project should standartize on something (snake_notation, CamelNotation, actual spaces) and document it. Should I rename? As soon as I get an answer I can submit a pull request.
