If a song or text appears in a work by a LicenSingOnline publisher, does that mean it is covered by a LicenSingOnline license?
Not necessarily. The texts, tunes and arrangements that appear in hymnals and collections can come from sources other than the publisher of the book. Our licenses only cover works held under the copyright administration of LicenSingOnline and its participating publishers. To reproduce material held by other, non-participating publishers, you must obtain permission directly from the publisher. The copyright acknowledgment (usually found at the bottom of the piece or in an index at the back of the book) will tell you who holds the rights for text and tune. It is this information that you should check against the member copyright holder list, not the name of the book’s publisher.
