Well, you have to understand, the Kalmuses of the world put errors in
their parts intentionally as part of protecting themselves against as-
sertions of copyright infringement, further substantiating the unique-
ness of their particular edition of a piece of music, beyond other edi-
torial changes that they've made. It's shoddy and frustrating for us,
but it's dollars, cents, and avoidance of summonses and complaints
for them (not to mention their parts are indeed cheaper than more
accurate and authentic editions).
