I am a composer that has relied on another, piano teacher, to assist in correcting my notation, as well as notation of my compositions as played within the scope of playable time signature. I have always viewed it as a collaborative work. I am wondering from a copyright standpoint and from the viewpoint of a notation person such as yourself, if my intellectual property should be a shared copyright with her, as essentially I would not be able to present my compositions to the public without her professional touch. Also, it should be noted her picture and credentials will be featured on the back of the book along with mine.
I am not sure how to proceed with my copyright. In one way I want to own my compositions outright and “gift” her with royalties for making it possible to be sold in the first place. I also would like for her to have copies to sell at her school for her students. This, thought process because I have paid her for her services.
On the other hand, Maybe it should be a shared copyright? I have invested a lot of money into recording studio time, book cover artist, mastering, and notation. If it is shared how do I fairly compensate her. And can I limit or have a say in what she would do with my music.
Consider both XML and RDF options or even favor RDF.
I think that most composers should use standart RDF database of instruments, notes and such.
Anything non-standard is possible using customized copies.

My view is that it should look like Unicode database rather than custom XML format.

How many LilyPond features would make sense as standart(s)?
