The service unit (18) digitally searches for the music score (20) in a database (22). When no copy is available, request signals (24a-c) are sent to the suppliers (26, 28, 30). If a copy is available, the supplier sends an affirmation signal and the digital copy (35) of the music score to the service unit (18). The service unit (18) can also make transpositions according to the requirement of the customer (12). The service unit (18) can also make transpositions according to the requirements of the customer (12). The service unit (18) charges the customer (12) that pays and then forwards the digital copy. The service unit (18) then compensates the supplier (28) minus a service charge.</p> |
