Uploading songs with questionable lyrics
A long time ago I transcribed a song called "Wing Lee's Ragtime Clock", but I've been hesitant on uploading it ever since, as it contains a single instance of the N word in one of the verses. I'm under the impression that as long as it's in passing, and isn't actually in the title or is the focus on the song then it's okay, but I wanted to make sure regardless.

I don't object to the word itself. I'm a firm believer in archiving things, regardless of content. I do however object to having an otherwise fine score deleted because of it.

I don't think it would be deleted if you uploaded it, especially if it is historical content.
Find a synonym? Or a censorship?
