I think you already answered your own question! Seriously, if you can get
the parts, it is always preferable. You can order actual printed parts
from Luck's Music Library (check Sneezy for an address) for a reasonable
price. Most of my parts are photocopies from various orchestra libraries;
I think that since they're for private use, it's OK. At least, I don't
think any copyright lawyers are going through my music files while I'm
practicing.
