Music sheet selling
Hello, idk if I can ask something similar here, but I don't really know where else I can find informations, anyway, I was wondering if it's possible to sell music sheets (in particular I'd like to sell guitar tabs) made with Musescore? Can I? Or I'd broke the artists' copyright?
Thank you ;)

You can publish your own compositions, public domain scores, and those where you have the copyright holder's (written!) agreement. Anything else is copyright violations.
Whether you sell them of give out for free doesn't matter here.

Well, except that you can post these to musescore.com (thus at least partially giving out for free), as they have worked out license agreements with major publishers to allow it. And for those publishers they haven't worked out agreements with, you can still upload it, it will just be marked as unlisted or otherwise taken out of the public eye.
But indeed, distributing arrangements of copyrighted music anywhere else requires explicit permission, whether you charge or not.
