For me, I try to chill when people do what I don't intend with my stuff. So
long as there is clarity. Who knows, someone may come along and to the same
to them in a way that I end up liking even if I did not like the original
branch.

To me, that should not matter so much if it is marked as alpha or pre-alpha
work.

I can see how this would bother you if it points to you. Which is why I
wondered if some built in standard ways might help if adopted.

I put out some real junk when it comes to my lyrics and the early stages of
songs. I try to keep a record of the trail to improvement. I think this may
actually help and give encouragement to some. Not all works fall from the
tree fully formed, beautiful, ripe and delicious. That's how I sometimes
work. Still, I would not necessarily like people passing their junk off as my
junk even by oversight.
