On that same page to which Mark gave us the link there was a statement that
an accompanist must be provided a commercial version of a piece for a
performance.

I remember years ago on this forum I offered a conjecture about some poor
kid making a Finale edition of some public domain piece and having it
rejected when offering the copies to the judges because it isn't a
commercial copy. At the time if my memory serves me correctly I commented
that judges at independent competitions ought not to be agents for
commercial publishers.

Does anyone know if that has yet happened? Several years have passed,
Sibelius and Finale are enjoying expanded use and our kids are certainly
more adept at using computers than we old folks (they more often than not
have a lot more time on their hands also). What do you know about this
subject? I'd be most interested in your comments.

Oliver
