It might be considered as such. In America. Do we only have Americans reading this email list? > I assume the examples are fairly small, less than a page.

We're certainly not putting them on our website or documentation. One academic is making a tiny scan of some notation, in order to send them privately to other academics (I believe that everybody who is seriously involved in this discussion has a PhD! -- note that I am not seriously involved). These are not publicly accessible. You do not need to write to music publishers. Just send the maoing 50kb jpg file to Han-Wen, Werner, Reinhold, Keith, and whoever is involved in writing/reviewing code for this notation feature which you are working on.
