Providing services to composers and publishers for 30 years
We provide professional
production services to a wide range of clients throughout the industry.
Our experience as graphic artists, typesetters, and music engravers
predates the implementation of computer software for these tasks, and we
continue to play a key role in the development and improvement of
computer software for publishing.
We prepare a wide variety of
publications: books, musical scores of all types (operas, symphonic
works, chamber works, musical theater scores, et al), and a large
number of works for premiere performance.
Software:
For
music engraving we use Sibelius, Finale, and Score. For
typesetting/book design we prefer InDesign, though we have used
PageMaker and Quark Express for some projects.
