All music, books, lyrics, recordings, or any other published materials published by WaveFront Music LLC are copyrighted, and as such may not be copied, scanned, stored, re-sold, converted into another format, nor transmitted to any person or entity other than the person who purchased said items. Copying is strictly prohibited. The purchase of sheet music conveys a license to the purchaser to use the work, in public or private. No other license is given.

A note about digital editions (PDF format): digital editions are licensed to the end-user exactly as tangible print editions are licensed. Just as with a print edition, a digital edition may not be copied nor distributed. Parts may be shared to the end-user's ensemble members for performance, but digital editions may not be shared with multiple end-users for their own personal use or performance. Purchase of any edition, print or digital, confers a license to use on the purchaser, not a license to distribute. Library-based purchasers should take note that a digital edition may be printed and that printed copy may be shared according to the library's lending policy, but the digitally formatted edition itself may not be shared, lent, or otherwise distributed. Sharing a digital edition to multiple users or ensembles is considered distribution, and is prohibited, just as photocopying a print edition for sharing or loan is prohibited.
