Bruce's posting reminds me of a problem brought up on this list
several years ago about the possibility, today with Finale and
Sibelius, that a student would show up for a competition with his/her
own sequenced and printed version of a work long in the public domain
or which would be submitted to the panel before the event.

That is (I ought to have included in my first post), are competitions
still playing the role of handmaiden to commercial publishers?

Is this allowed yet? Comments, anyone?
