Permission is hereby granted to the purchasing individual or institution to print and/or photocopy as many copies of any documents (or parts of documents) included on this CD and/or authorized download as needed, subject to the following conditions:

• You are specifically not allowed to host the mp3 files on any publicly-accessed web-server. If you wish to make the rehearsal tracks available to your cast for home-use, you should purchase the "Group Access" add-on option, available on www.papapanov.com/order.html
