You need to interpret it. If you look at
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_dealing#Canada
the Supreme Court says in 1 that
 "lawyers carrying on the business of law for profit are conducting  
research"

It is your interpretation that providing examples for private study -  
learning the works of LilyPond - ins't private study.

The normal thing is to interpret copyright law as a business law -  
there has to be some kind of real or potential infringement. Laws of  
free communication are precedes. The law itself says nothing about  
that. But you can see that in points 6 and 5.
