Frequently asked questions and info about score downloads:
Q: How do I purchase sheet music?
A: Go to the Store and add a piece to your cart. You can pay with Paypal. You will immediately receive an email with instructions for how to download your scores and parts instantly. If you encounter a problem, just send me a note.
Q: What comes with a sheet music purchase?
A: In most cases, there will be a link to the score free of charge. When you make a payment, you will receive a link to download the parts. You should receive that link within a few moments.
Q: Can I preview scores before I buy?
A: In most cases, a link to the score is available for free viewing and download. These “study scores” are free. I suppose you could download the score and create your own parts without having to buy anything, but who would want to do all that work?
Q: I have an ensemble with similar but slightly different instrumentation. Can these pieces be adapted for other instrumentation?
A: In many cases, yes. I am happy to transpose a part or two from my original files. A small additional charge may apply. Feel free to contact me to discuss further, especially if you are interested in ordering multiple works. I am also willing to make more significant changes for varied instrumentation, but if there is a significant amount of time involved it will likely involve some extra fees. Again, let me know what your needs are. Some works already contain flexible instrumentation.
Q: What type of layout is used for scores?
A: Most scores are formatted for portrait orientation, double-sided letter-sized printing. Some scores are formatted for tabloid-size paper, which can be printed at letter-size ifs you don’t mind small staves.
Q: How do I print the parts?
A: Parts can be printed and taped, however most parts are planned for booklet-style printing. In fact, you may notice the occasional blank page in the middle of the part (or even an extra title page for some parts). This is to facilitate booklet printing with correct pagination. Booklet printing requires printing on tabloid-size paper in landscape with the “magazine” organization.
Q: What if there’s a problem with the download? What if there’s an error on a part?
A: I’ve done my best to proof the parts and scores, but mistakes happen. If you notice anything that needs fixing, please let me know and I’ll get you an update ASAP.
Q: I’ve purchased an earlier edition of one of your pieces and now see that it’s been updated. Can I get a copy of the new version? How much does it cost?
A: If you’ve already purchased one of the pieces for the same type of ensemble, I will (in most cases) happily send you the new version. Just reach out and let me know. If the revised score has significant updates—for example, if it was originally a short exercise but is now a 10-minute fully-developed work—you can purchase the revised version at a discount. Again, just reach out to me directly.
