Hey, just asking myself, if I want to make a cover of a song on Youtube, do I need to change the key of the song or something like that? Because if I want to make that cover and look here on musecore, it has already been made and copyrighted in the key I wanted to do it. How can I make a cover on that song if it is already copyrighted??? Do I need to change the key??

Greetings

Just changing key certainly is not enough to not violate copyright.
To publish (!) a cover of a copyrighted score, you need the explicit and written permission of the copyright holder.

The question is: are you intending to make it public. If you are, you will need to get permission from the copyright holder. If it is only for personal use, go ahead.
