The *music* itself isn't copyrighted, since the composers died more
than 100 years ago. If your printouts don't claim a copyright, and/or
are underived work ("Urtext", i.e. reproductions of the autographs),
they contain no "creative additions" to the compose's work.
In other words: take an "Urtext" edition and lilypondize it. Henle is
a good candidate (they made a lot of "Urtext" editions).
If you've only "derived work" (dynamics, corrections, fingerings added
by the editor), you can try to remove those additions. Or ask me; IIRC,
I've Henle's Urtext-Editions of all Beethoven sonatas and maybe of some
Chopin etudes.
Ciao,
Kili
