Musical scores aren't the same as Lyrics, but it will go there eventually. And I didn't only mean selling, but it appears that the law only deals with unoffical interps, meaning that if you have a license to make the scores (paid probally), that you wouldn't be affected.
But if I understand correctly, I could "edit" a few things in the score, and it wouldn't be the original score. This is what they are trying to fix. The law has already been passed on that, it deals mainly with "similar sounds" but it includes similar writting, and similar scores if nessecary. They only started enforcing the score aspect, so this fight is a little late.
This really isn't against the first ammendment because no matter what key the melody is, how much you change it, as long as you can still make out the same melody it is the same melody (according to law). And as I tryied to imply before, as long has the person has legal Permission, they can distribute the scores as they like.
Next you know, people will be complaining that the music companys won't let them sell their own versions of popular songs (which is illigal under the same law). Just trying to set a few things strait.
