By this logic, would Guitar Magazine, which published very complete sheet music for many of these songs have a copyright claim? I know I have a magazine at home with Stairway to Heaven and I'm pretty sure there's a copyright in there somewhere.

For a published magazine like that I'm sure they get permission/pay for the rights

Parent is saying that the magazine that trnascribed the music can get perhaps the copyright to music they didn't create, due to the OP loopholes .
