What happens if one prepares a different score based on several
copyrighted editions? Has one to pay to all the copyright holders, or,
as the new score is different, no payment is due?

In other words, do the editors of urtext editions that prepare scores
by consulting both manuscripts and copyrighted editions pay for this
consultation?
