Mailing an audio recording to yourself is the "poor man's copyright". And it is an acceptable means of copyrighting. If you print it make sure you print the music, not just the words. Because the melody is the central musical component you are claiming the right to.

Having said that, legally the act of creating a physical medium is enough to consider your music copywritten.

So, you could also just record yourself playing the song & then keep the digital audio file with it's timestamp in the code!

Hope that helps!
