<><> I hope you're saying this in jest ... a few notes changed from
a piece in the public domain does not a copyright make, at least in the
USA. Perhaps a common misperception.

As I understand it, that's not exactly the logic. The intent is not to
create or assert a copyright. Rather, it's an effort to identify that
copying was done, and to identify which edition was copied. Then,
having proved that copying was done, the aggrieved party must prove that
the copying violated a copyright.
