- Music editing and engraving (Notation)
We work personally with our clients, to make sure that their creative intentions are 100% faithfully and idiomatically realized in music notation. We use only state-of-the-art professional music notation programs. Our work is immaculate, it conforms to time-honored music engraving practices, and it is ready for performance by any performers anywhere — or for publishing.

- Score and part preparation
All scores are prepared by a staff of experienced professional musician-engravers who know what performers expect to see on the page. Our full scores are prepared with a conductor's / musical director's eye, and our instrumental parts have won praise from musicians in orchestras both large and small. All music is laser printed on durable, fully opaque, paper. Our materials are bound using saddle-stapled, coil bound, or taped accordion-style techniques.

- Music proofreading
Don't waste money and precious rehearsal time by sending out materials that haven't been proofread. If you've done your own music copying (or if someone else has done it for you), do what all the best publishers do: have it proofread by a professional. You'll make a lot more friends among music directors and performers!

- Song transpositions
Whether it's a musical theater song, a pop song, or an art song, each singer must make the song "their own." The first and most important step toward that goal is to make sure that it's in the best key for that singer's voice. We'll transpose any song into any key (including the song's piano, or instrumental, accompaniment).
