group, the musical terminology used within this group is the UK
system and users are requested to use that terminology when
posting.
On-topic discussion includes notation systems, software used for
notating and transcribing, problems such as transposition, scoring
techniques and other general questions relating to notation.
Discussions relating to musical criticism are strictly off-topic.
Cross-Posting
Cross-posting is discouraged.
Advertising
Advertising is forbidden. Third-party announcements regarding
products and services which may be of interest to other users,

Providers of such products and services taking part in discussion
of their product or service is not regarded as advertising.
