I think you are missing the point. We all do this sort of planning and 
rearrangement, and part of the planning involves getting the right music on 
the right stands. You are very, very lucky if there are the right parts in a 
set to do this without copying. Thankfully from the information posted this 
doesn't seem to be illegal. Getting supplied with percussion scores is 
usually best as it gives the most flexibility. However the arrangement in 
some pieces is so silly that wholesale rearranging is needed. Have a look at  
the percussion parts for English Heritage. It as a good or should I say bad 
example. Even a simple Trombonist should be able to spot the problems that 
the parts as written create.
