There are several aspects to sheet music copyright:

One has to be careful. In Australia typesetting IS covered by copyright, but
only for 25 years (as opposed to 50 years from the death of the
author/composer/artist for virtually any other copyright). If the
typesetting originates in a country that does not protect typesetting then
there may indeed be no copyright protection available to control the use of
mudela files.
