Is there a way to submit a PDF, and have songs embedded in the text, so a literary manager can read and listen easily?
Yes. I use Google Drive, which hosts the book document that has links to all the song demo mp3 files (also on Drive) so a person can read the play and click on the mp3s at each point where there’s a musical number-
You could do the same with iCloud or OneDrive,. I find that Drive is the easiest.
Guessing — a CD.
What is a “hard copy” of a song?
A “hard copy” is a copy of a piece of music written on actual paper, from trees. A pianist can place a hard copy down on the piano and begin to play. So, your PDF or your JPEG that you uploaded to your iPad is not what’s wanted here.
