Different terms apply to different parts, editions or uses of this one. Do not assume the most permissive of them covers what you want to do, and check with the rights holder first.
Licence classification is a research judgement by the catalogue’s authors, not legal advice, and it can be out of date. Confirm terms with the copyright holder or publisher before using an instrument, especially for commercial use.
