Just a question. If I record some pieces on the organ of a friend and want to upload them ? Possible or not ?

I'd like a clarification. I read that we are required to use "any virtual Pipe Organ or virtual Harpsichord software". Does this mean that music recorded using clavichord and ancient piano (fortepiano) samples (made accessible by PianoTeq) is excluded?

If I understand correctly, affiliate links to SheetMusicPlus scores are still allowed in the track description?

I'm sorry to bother you again -- do I understand correctly that "By registering at this site you agree to only post music [...] to which you have exclusive rights." would exclude any personal creations that would fall under the terms of the U.S. fair use policy?
By coincidence, I finished a larger work yesterday, where I played along with another composer's pieces (i.e. I don't have the *exclusive* rights) and planned to upload three demos of max. 30 seconds each. These clips would most likely be covered by the policy -- but not by the CCH T&C anymore, right?

That would be correct. Uploading pieces that someone else has played (even if you accompanied it) would go against the terms and conditions.

Question returned: What exactly does count as "promotional or soliciting"?

Good question! Any link/content on an upload that is used specifically as a marketing tool to directly sell a product or service without permission from the site. This could be things such as a patreon.com link, link to an online store etc...
As always, sample set producers and VPO developers have permission to post demos for sample sets and so forth.

Does this mean sharing a link in the description where people can purchase a copy of the score being performed is forbidden?

It is confusing. If I add an affiliate link to the score from sheetmusicplus then it's OK. But if I add a link to the same score from my own store, it's not OK, it seems. In both cases, if somebody buys from such link it's profitable to me.

You can add a link to the score for download or purchase (affiliate or not).
