Hello everyone,

Curious if anyone on this list, especially in Germany, has knowledge or experience with musicalion.com. I just received an unsolicited email from them about my choral works on Choral Public Domain Library (cpdl.org) asking me to also put my work in their system. They seem legit, but in this day and age where "seems" can obscure a cloud of issues, I though I'd ask this community first, knowing that many of you have far more experience than I have with publishing music at all levels.

I have exactly zero experience with professional music publishing, but I recommend that you read their terms and conditions.

At a glance, article 5:

The right to use the collection of all sheet music and recordings from Musicalion.com is limited to the period of membership. After terminating membership, the user must destroy all Musicalion.com data files and printouts which are still in the user's possession. In the event that a user provided an ensemble with sheet music from Musicalion.com, then the user is responsible to ensure the destruction of these copies

makes me think this is not a service I would be particularly happy to use, personally.
