This is a nice theory.
Unfortunately, the way the abc printing programs I know anything about
deal with the C: line doesn't correspond to the way any printed music
I know of would actually print a copyright. That is, what you expect
printed music to have is something like:
Title
Composer name
<first page of music>
(c) date Composer name
If I say in my ABC:
C: Laura Conrad (c) 2003
it's not going to print that way.
