What you want is stupid. Now go play in traffic. This is supposed to be fun.
Ok if you don't use a score.. and you use something like piano roll editor then find the way you can print out the score.. Cos I know all music can be put on a score.. If you can't do this then you're no musician. EVERY MUSICIAN KNOWS HOW TO READ & WRITE A SCORE so don't argu just print your score up and send it along with the track.

You say yourself that every musician knows how to write and read a score (which, by the way, isn't true). It doesn't prove anything. Nor does the inability to provide a score prove that it's not your piece.
I will be providing scores for each instrument I use and drum tab. I really don't see what the problem is.. It's very simple and provides clear evdence that you wrote it.
I think we need a new cheat police, the music moderators. While we are at it, we should also have photo moderators for the photo comp. It's a scandal that we haven't thought of that earlier.

On the RHP photos somebody has sent in a picture from a catalog.. ie they sent in a pic of model.. see if you can guess which pic I'm thinking about.. then i'll post the one I think has been professionally photo taken.
The problem with me is I can write it out but its so slow, I am
not a natural writer of notes, I compose whats in my head in real time
on an instrument, piano, guitar, mandolin, dulcimer, banjo, whatever.
And when I get comfortable with a new piece, I record it. So the
recording is my only record. I submitted a piano suite I call the
Irish suite, three or four tunes of mine strung together, and I would
like it scored so I am going to beg Julie (the third part of Gladsmiths)
who has a music degree, to listen to it and score it for me.
She doesn't know that yet🙂
So the thing is to just be honest and list your sources if they aren't
yours and say they are yours if they are. I have one piece I play
on the guitar called Virginia Beach Blues that I have played for
a long time and my buddy George Winston thought I wrote it because
he never heard ANYONE else play it. Now he is a great pianist and
guitarist and harmonica player and gets around a lot.
But I heard that tune at a party given by Bryon Bowers sometime
around 1968 or so by someone at the party but I didn't get the guys
name and have asked everyone I knew who wrote it. I could claim it
as my own and probably get away with it but in my heart I know I
didn't write it, so I just say I learned it a Bryons party or something.
Anyway one thing about copywrites that most people don't know,
you don't have to officially post it, just show you had it at X date
and the stuff I submitted I am not too worried about someone
ripping it off because its only an Mp3 file. I have the original full
digital recording and can prove it so whoever tries to rip off my stuff
has an inferior copy and it would be obvious to the cognesenti
which is the original and which is the rip.
I am going to submit some of that stuff to Red House Records,
a company I like so its already copywrited.
