How can I let people arrange my music?
Hi. I need to find a way on how a lot of people can arrange my music from Full Orchestra to concert band, Piano, Violin Solo, Etc.
For Example, Someone arranged my Arrangement of Somewhere from "West Side Story" for Concert Band here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1brGFZfMAc0 and I don't know how that person arranged this piece. Did he looked at my piece so many times and decides to arrange it to make it sound better? Or did he send me an e-mail asking me if he would let his band perform this piece?
For me, I would do the same thing. And I made SO many Orchestra arrangements of other classical pieces like "Andante Festivo" which didn't even have a full orchestra arrangement and you can check it out here at: http://www.free-scores.com/download-sheet-music.php?pdf=92400 and so why did I made a Full Orchestra arrangement of Andante Festivo when they did't even have that arrangement at first?
Now I'm getting off topic. But is there any way for me to let everyone arrange my pieces which are my compositions and my arrangements from Full Orchestra to whatever?
Thanks.

I'm not understanding the question. You are asking *us* if someone emailed you? Wouldn't you already know the answer to that? You can search your email to see if he did; we can't guess.
Anyhow, to answer more generally:
If you have posted your piece to musescore.com, then any *can* downlaod it and do whatever they want with it - play it, arrange it differently, etc. There is nothing special you need to do to make it *possible*. Of course, what someone *can* do is different from what they *may* do - that is, by posting a composition, you make it *possible* for others to make their own versions, but you don't necessarily make it *legal* for them to do so. Whether or not it is *legal* to make these modified versions depends on what license you choose when you upload. If you chosoe "All Rights Reserved", then no, they are not allowed to make their own version. If you choose one of the creative common licenses, they usually spell out reasonably clearly what is allowed and what is not.
Does this answer your question? If not, can you be more specific?
