[HANASHIR:10901] Compiling a songbook

[Alan Halpern <alan...>]

At either price, wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a number of anthologies?
Then, and I may be wrong on this, Fair Use clause of copyright would allow
the congregation/school to copy and rebind the pages into a small number of
books for educational use.  It would be great to check with the publisher(s)
about compiling your own book from the anthologies you buy, but I'm assuming
that (1) you buy the anthologies, (2) you make a small number of copies, of
(3) select pages, and (4) indicate the copyright holder on each song and
mark the pages "Do not copy."

You can then add any songs that might be unpublished, locally composed or
simply unavailable in any anthology.

Professionals can charge anywhere from $25-$50 per page for print-ready
copy with music transcriptions, or $8-20 per page for just lyrics in
Hebrew and English (print-ready) when they do this kind of work for
legitimate publishers.
