Thanks for your answer! That certainly gives it some more context, I appreciate it - shame that even community created "covers" need to be covered by copyright now, since they're often quite transformative, but I guess this is the world we live in. The articles I read on this at the time were putting it in quite a negative light, that must have had an impact on my judgement - either way, I'm happy that you're successful with this model and that you can make scoring music more accessible with your open source software. (I've used musescore from middle school through university, so it's definitely had an impact on me!) Apologies for making unsubstantiated comments and thanks for clarifying.
