I have the score of Antonio Soler's 6 keyboard quintets, edited by Robert Gerhard (1896-1970) in 1933. The source used is a set of manuscript parts, archives of Monestir d'El Escorial, Spain. The cover says: Transcriptiò i revisiò per Robert Gerhard.
A "transcription" is copyrighted, but can this part-to-score conversion be called a transcription? It is certainly a scientific edition.

If it is "certainly a scientific edition" then it should still fall under the urtext provisions and be uploadable - if he didn't actually change the parts in the process of assembling them into a score, then it should not count as an original contribution on his part. No fingerings, bowings, extra dynamic markings, etc.?

No fingerings. A few parenthesized
p ,
f,
tr signs were added where they were obviously missing by analogy with a similar passage. This is explained in the introduction in Catalan.

In that case, it sounds like completely fair game - go right ahead.
