Thank you for the references!

Now, then, a question IRT editorial markings and the extensive research sometimes required:

If indeed editorial changes, which to the layman may look insignificant but as you probably know take years of research are not copyrightable, what is the incentive to do that work other than the joy of knowing that you "got it right"? Dan Leeson, an eminent Mozart scholar, spent over 20 years on one measure of a work. He gets his pleasure out of hearing the work performed correctly, but what of someone else who expects some sort of compensation? Is this type of research altruistic only?

Cheers,
