Chris -- I have heard that Scripps is no longer even using "independent"
composers for their custom work.  All such work now requires the composer to
come on site, compose/produce the music using Scripps' facilities, and the
composer is paid HOURLY for his work -- no more per-project fees.

Can you verify?
