In Germany it is forbidden to make a photocopy of protected music, even if you own a bought printed edition. But it is allowed to copy it _once(!)_ with a pen and a sheet of paper or using a music typesetting program, etc. At least, that's what I was told from my boss. In the end you'll always need a lawyer at hand - ofcourse you will most likely not be able to pay him, if you ask him every day multiple times ... Anyway, on this list it's always possible to ask questions about typesetting even protected music, if you tell us randomized note-entries.
