I did some guitar ensemble (4 guitars) arrangements of Joplin rags some years ago that are now published (Maple Leaf Rag, Cascades) by Doberman-Yppan. I can check with them to see if we can use passages as examples for LilyPond Tablature if you like.

Also, I wouldn't be averse to working up any new arrangements of Joplin rags for guitar--solo or ensemble--provided they're in the public domain. What would be the timeline for such an endeavor?

I'd be really glad to help with the tablature example.
I think a modern piece would be better in this case, as tablature are used
by modern guitarists.
What about a Scott Joplin ragtime arranged for guitar? (it is in the public
domain)

I guess a good example should show the best features of tablature support in
Lilypond.. There are any other requirements?

Scott Joplin rags may be public domain, but are any guitar
arrangements of them? Or were you offering to do one?



I'm not sure at all, but...
.. I think that an arrangement of a public domain piece of music can be copyrighted just if it's a kind of 'original' elaboration by the musician; I mean something different, somehow.

As far as I use an arrangement which is very close to the original music, it should be fine, shouldn't?
