You download brand new music with each title purchased from STEP. The first thing you will notice is that you get only one copy of each title. Obviously, you will need multiple copies of duet, trio or ensemble pieces. Here's how it works:
Each title comes with a license page (except for solos) and each piece of music has a line at the bottom of the first page describing the copying policy for that specific master. For duets, for example, you may make one copy of the handbell part, for a total of two copies (including your original). You should use the original, downloaded full score for the accompanist, without making copies. For quartet, you may make three copies for a total of four.
