copyright
I have created an arrangement of Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Harold Arlen. I would like to post it on MuseScore. I have read that Hal Leonard Corporation own the copyright. I tried to find contact information, but got into a loop that did not lead to a simple email contact. Must I contact them first or just upload the arrangement since I will be taking no credit for composing the original song? I ask because I was prevented from having What'd I Say by Ray Charles on the MuseScore site because of copyright infringement.

Musescore.com with take care of this. Worst than can happen is that they get forced to take that score down, make it private or unlisted.
