In most countries, music is subject to copyright until 70 years after
the death of the composer (or arranger or editor who did any significant
additions). Until then, you need permission from the copyright holder to
do arrangements or publish the music.

I have about 70 transcriptions I and a band-mate have done of Mexican
music, in the Cumbia, Banda, Ranchera, Zapatiado, Quebradita styles.
What issues should I consider if I were to pursue selling these
transcriptions? I was thinking via the web and maybe a 'fake' book, or
both. What are the legal considerations? These are our own
transcriptions/arrangements, taken from recordings. I have used Lilypond
for typesetting all my parts, my friend has used a windoze based app for
his. I would take his and typeset them in Lily for the 'official'
releases. I have seen some people mention their own publishing of works
done in Lilypond.
Thanks for any/all input,
Chip
