Hello

The GPL requires you to release the source code, but the CC licences
do not afaik. I also found out that the wesnoth sountrack is released
under the GPL, so it is possible to use the GPL for music. For sheet
music one could use the GFDL which is designed for written works.
Selling GFDL'ed sheet music without offering the corresponding
lilypond source code might not be permitted.

I also tried to download the music from soundcloud, but soundcloud
uses nonfree javascript, so I had to use a shell script which does the
download.
