The way it is SUPPOSED to work is that you are allowed to mark your
parts in pencil and erase them before you return the parts. The additional
charge that Neil refers to is for the RENTAL COMPANY to erase the parts
BEFORE sending them out to the next renter! What good does it do for the
rental company to impose a fine and then not correct the problem?!!!
Incidentally, the only parts I do NOT erase are where I've corrected
mistakes in the music. Why should the next person have to find them the
hard way?
