[TPIN] Marking Parts

Actually, I understand it's standard practice to copy the whole score, 
librettto and all for the crew, lighting director, etc, so they can mark 
in their cues.  It only becomes illegal if you don't order as many real 
parts as you use copies AND if you don't destroy the copies when the 
books are returned. :)

Not a copyright attorney (nor do I play one on TPIN), but that's my 
understanding of fair use.
