Computer Typesetting
Whether you are a budding composer, a music publisher or a church choir conductor, your manuscripts can be transformed into a clean, typeset copy that looks and reads just the way you want it.
Using the "World's Best" music notation software (Sibelius) we can supply you with standard or specialised fonts and typefaces, alternative or modern music symbols to produce top quality printed music. The finished score can be produced at any size in print from, converted into a PDF file, converted into a graphics file or turned into a web page that actually plays back, prints out and can be transposed.
The engraving software we use is internationally acclaimed and is used, among others, by the BBC, Peters Edition, Faber Music, Music Sales, Oxford University Press and composers such as John Rutter (choral), Barry Forgie (jazz) and Michael Kamen (film).
The music that you send us will be typeset exactly as we see it - what you send is what you get back. We will not do any arranging, changing or make any editorial additions or corrections unless you ask us to. See our other services for details.
examples
When sending music...
- Only send copies of your manuscript, not originals.
- Please ensure that the music that you send is legible with all the parts, voicing and editorial markings clearly indicated.
- If the music contains lyrics, please ensure that they are lined up with the correct notes.
- Make sure that all the additional text is present eg title, composer, copyright symbols etc and in the correct places.
- Music will be printed in A4 portrait format and returned by post unless otherwise specified. We can produce scores up to A3 in size.
- In the interests of clarity and readability, the stave/system layout and therefore the total number of pages may differ from the original. We will, however, maintain sensible and easy page turns if necessary.
