Rights basis
Public domain by non-renewal, for the FOURTH EDITION (1940) ONLY: Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians, 4th ed., G. Schirmer, 1940 (this scan's own title page is washed out on the harvested leaves; publisher and edition read from the volume's known publication history, not from an image on disk) — due for renewal in the 28th-year window 1967-68. Searched 9 September 2026: the Catalog of Copyright Entries, Third Series, Part 1 Books, renewal volumes for that window (archive.org catalogofco1967321112lib, catalogofco1967321112libr, catalogofco1968322112lib, catalogofco1968322112libr) carry no entry under "Baker, Theodore", this title, or Schirmer matching it; the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database's only hit for the phrase "Biographical dictionary of musicians" is a DIFFERENT, LATER work — "Supplement 1949 to fourth edition of Baker's Biographical dictionary of musicians" by Nicolas Slonimsky, renewal R671904 (19 Sep 1977), original registration A37702 (published 26 Sep 1949), claimant G. Schirmer, Inc. — and that renewal is NOT this source: none of this record's harvested leaves (identifier biographicaldict00bake, leaves 1-6 and 15-1266) names Slonimsky, a 1949 date, or a Supplement, checked by hand 9 September 2026. This source key must never be cited for the 1949 Supplement's text; that text would need its own bb_source record and its own rights review (its renewal is live and would deny public domain). No renewal found for the 1940 fourth edition itself in either witness. Public domain under the owner's ruling of 9 Sep 2026 (REVIEW.md, "Source rights are assessed by rule", rule 2).
