Question: in which country?
In France, the right of reproducing a musical work finished 70 years after the composer's death. Period.
The editor is only owner of the edition, not of the music inside. Otherwise, if some editor publised a work of J-S Bach, your assertion (as written) would mean that that work by Bach would be copyrighter!
But of course you may not photocopy and sell a copy of that edition. But if you MusiXTeX some work of a composer who died more than 70 years ago, the editor/publisher of the same work cannot say anything.

Hi Irwin, concerning the discussion about the copyright you wrote:
According to international copyright law, a work remains copyrighted until the longest living copyright holder (be it the composer, the editor, etc.) has been dead for 70 years.
So if the composer has been dead for 70 years, and you have access to the compostition in it's original, unedited form, nobody can stop you from publishing it if you do the typesetting yourself.
Is this true too if I use a commercially available facsimile as source?
