General information for all music published here, read carefully
All scores edited by cipoo.net are distributed under the terms of the Free Art License: read it

Recently added scores have the above notice included at the bottom of the first page (PDF),
embedded into the file (MIDI) and in the copyright fields shown by the File->Info menu (NWC).
Nevertheless the license apply also for the already published files even if it is not explicitely reported into them.
However there is no guarantee that the provided files are public domain worldwide: it could be that in your country they aren't, therefore cipoo.net does not assume any responsibility or liability of any kind for their copyright status. You should get information about copyright laws of your country and consult lawyers specialized in copyright issues to be sure that downloaded file does not infringe any copyright in your country.

Scores are generally provided as PDF document and NWC files (we use NoteWorthy Composer as notation
program to write the scores you will find here).
As NoteWorthy is quite diffused, we have thought to make available for download also nwc files so
that NoteWorthy users will also be able to edit the downloaded scores).
MP3s exclusively come from live or studio performances of the amatorial choirs where we used to sing
and are all regarding public domain music.
Compression bit rate as been kept as low as 96kbps but you should not be too
much concerned about this low bit rate as the only "instrument" used is the human voice so
that overall sound quality still remains acceptable.
Apart for this technical consideration, the artistic content may be considered of decent/good
level even though music is not performed by professional choirs.
To the best of our knowledge, all the files published on this site are only relevant to public
domain music; otherwise we have obtained proper authorization from the owner to publish them.
For MIDI and MP3 files we want to point out that they are not intended to (and neither can)
replace high quality recordings.
Please note that is not our intention to violate any copyrights therefore, should you discover that
any file in this site relates to copyrighted or unauthorized material, please inform us and we'll
remove it at once.
