Copyright — notices and removal

Last updated: 4 August 2026

In short: NoteSheet 360 does not supply sheet music and does not operate a public library. All content is uploaded by users and stays in their ensemble's private library. We do not pre-screen it — but if material arrived here that the uploader had no right to, a notice to us will lead to removal.

How the service is built, and why it matters

No public library and no cross-user search. One ensemble's library is not accessible to another.
No catalogue of our own. We do not sell, distribute or offer works.
Content is stored on the user's device. A scan sent for conversion is processed and deleted immediately afterwards.

Submitting a notice

A rights holder — or someone authorised to act on their behalf — who believes content on the service infringes their rights is invited to write to:

✉️ [email protected]

Please put “Copyright notice” in the subject line, and so that we can act, include:

Identification of the work — title, composer/arranger, and edition where relevant.
Basis of the right — whether you are the rights holder, and if acting for another, on whose behalf.
Where it appears — every identifying detail you have (ensemble name, screenshot, share link).
Contact details — full name, email and phone.
A statement that the details are accurate and that you believe in good faith the use is unauthorised.

⚠️ Please note: the more precisely the notice identifies the content, the faster we can act. A notice that is too general (“you have my sheet music”) does not let us locate anything — libraries are private and we cannot search inside them.

What we will do

Stage	What happens
Acknowledgement	We reply within 5 business days.
Review	We examine the notice and locate the content from the details provided.
Removal	For a substantiated notice — the content is removed and any share links to it are revoked.
Notification	We inform the user who uploaded it, and allow them to respond if they believe there is a mistake.
Repeat infringement	A user who infringes repeatedly will lose access to the service.

If you received a removal notice

If your content was removed and you believe this was a mistake — for example the work is yours, you hold a licence, or it is in the public domain — reply to that email with an explanation and supporting evidence. We will review again, and if the notice was wrong we will restore the content.

A note for conductors and ensemble managers

Most sheet music is protected by copyright — including files circulating as PDFs and pages scanned from an old folder. The fact that an ensemble is not commercial does not by itself make copying permitted.

These are generally safe: works in the public domain · music purchased under a licence that permits ensemble use · arrangements you wrote yourself of a public-domain work · and music you have written permission to use. In any other case, check with the publisher.
