That is true of the program code, but not the data. The document must carry a copyright notice if it contains the notes, because it is the composition written in a form of musical notation. The complete source, published with a copyright notice, would copyright the piece. Published without the notice, all copyright would be lost. So if you upload the source of a score, see to it that it doesn't contain the notes. Regards, daveA -- Guitar teaching materials and original music for all styles and levels.
