Sure, one of the nice things about sheet music is that you don't alway
send up with the exact same performace, so that degree of freedom is
entirely deliberate. If you /don't/ want that degree of freedom --
you're just trying to include a recording, you should be able to do a
text representation of a FFT or something, I would've thought. Long,
and ugly, but editable as text, and satisfying the terms of the GNU FDL
as far as I can see.
I'm not claiming anyone would /want/ to distribute sound this way, but the
fact that you /can/ means this doesn't make GNU FDL docs non-free, IMO.
Cheers,
aj
