Legal Notices
What happens when someone reports one of your items — and how to object to a block.
Anyone who believes that content stored in SinfoniaOne infringes their rights can report it to the operator. When such a report arrives, the operator reviews it — and blocks the content if the report appears justified. A single report may concern several pieces; each of them then appears separately in your list.
This page explains what a block means for your band and what you can do if you consider it unjustified.
An empty page is the normal case
Settings → Legal Notices only shows something if a block actually affects your band. As long as nothing is listed there, nothing is blocked — the entry appears with the first case.
What a block means
A blocked piece stays in your list — marked “Blocked” — but its sheet music can no longer be retrieved:
- no preview, no PDF, no export,
- not in the setlist bundle and not in the marching book,
- not available offline either,
- and it can no longer be added to a new folder.
The buttons for these do not disappear, they are greyed out. That way you can see that they exist and are simply unavailable right now, instead of wondering where they went.
This applies to everyone in the band — including the chairperson and the music librarian. A block is not a permission setting but a measure taken by the operator.
Blocked does not mean deleted
Your data stays. Title, composer, storage location and everything else remain; only the sheets stop coming out. If the block is lifted, everything is as before.
How you find out
As soon as content is blocked, the chairperson and the band administrators receive a notification — by push and by email. This message cannot be turned off: the deadline for your response depends on it.
In addition, a note with the reason and the case number appears above the affected piece.
Filing an objection
Open Settings → Legal Notices. Every block is listed there with its reason, date and case number.
Tap “File an objection”.
Write down why the block is unjustified from your point of view. Concrete evidence helps most: the invoice for the purchased original edition, written permission from the publisher, the composer's year of death.
Send it. The operator reviews the objection and decides; the result then appears in the same place.
Band leadership only
An objection can be filed by whoever holds the “May object to a block” permission — by default the chairperson, the board and the administrator. An objection is a statement made by the band to the outside world; no single member should file it alone. The secretary may read the block but not object to it.
Reporting an infringement
The opposite route is open as well: if you notice your own works appearing somewhere without permission, you will find the reporting form via the link in the imprint. Every report receives a case number and an acknowledgement by email.
