How would that apply to harmonic structures? Is that seven notes

Rhythms haven't been shown to be copyrightable, and supposedly chord
progressions and titles aren't copyrightable either.
I'm pretty sure David is correct. Otherwise somebody would have
claimed copyright in the 12-bar blues progression long ago!
