Sheet music arranging and transcription

Working with some of the most highly skilled and experienced arrangers and orchestrators in the UK, we can supply world class arrangements and accurate transcriptions of audio in just about every genre (including classical, rock and pop, jazz, film and musical theatre) and in just about every format, from piano solo and choral scores for publication, to big band and orchestral scores for live recording sessions.

Typesetting

Currently working in Sibelius 6 and with over 20 years’ of experience of engraving music, we are equally accomplished in the preparation of complex contemporary concert scores for live performance and publication, the preparation of scores for live recording sessions, and engraving educational material and sheet music for worldwide distribution. We pride ourselves on our knowledge and understanding of many types of musical notation (from extended jazz techniques to guitar tablature), and upon our reputation for producing scores of the highest quality.

Audio arranging and production

We have produced over 130 sound-alike backing tracks in the last five years ranging from live big band versions of the Ratpack numbers to songs from contemporary pop and musical theatre. We offer a complete service from the arranging itself through to the delivery of an audio master. We offer the highest quality computer-generated audio tracks, using state of the art virtual instruments and sample libraries, or a live recording session option (score arranging, session musician fixing, recording and production).

Design and layout

We can design a 'house style' for your new educational or novelty music publication, or simply create an individual 'look' for your music score. We can also produce a layout of your publication in InDesign or Quark Xpress and create camera-ready PDFs, ready to be sent straight to the printers.
