O.K.  That applies to original work, correct?

What about traditional or folk songs that are first collected and then
published, for example Stan Hugill's collections of Sea Shanties?

Would it be legal to exchange individual tunes transcribed from a text, with
bibliographical info included with the tune?

The entire collection of tunes from a specific text transcribed and put into
a single abc file would be a violation.

The book or collection is the protected work, the tunes themselves are
public domain?
