Peter,
surely this one:
* Text file/HTMl/whatever that contains the guitar chords;
may indeed go to a derivative as a new arrangement if the original was
arranged for, say, four part vocal only.
And in the US, you get a (P) copyright on a sound recording. So you get a new
copyright but it is not considered a derivative? (I am ignorant here.)
