just had a song returned ticked "on target for this listing". always thought this would mean a forward. happened to anyone else?
reading the critique makes me think the screener just ticked the wrong box by mishap. maybe he was in a hurry to take a crap before it went in his pants...

Lots of returns are "on target for this listing". That just means the general style of the song matches what the listing is looking for such as a song being a soft, sad singer-songwriter tune. But getting a forward goes beyond just being "on target", all the other variables have to line up per the listing as well-- production quality, lyrics, melody, performance, etc.
Conversely for a return, you can have a song be "off target" but still great, even getting 9's and 10's. That might be a great rock song submitted for a country listing, for example.
HTH?

Yep, I've had that. The 'overall comments' section should explain why it is returned.
Hope this helps

It is quite possible for a screener to accidentally tick the wrong box. In these cases, it's worth an email/call to Taxi to have it checked.
