NOTATIO

Thank you so much Hector! I hope the summer will give me some more breathing room to get back to writing on the blog as I have overdue articles on all my experience in this matter—good, bad, ugly!—and, since I found so little when I started—and if it weren't for OCTO I may have never started in the ...

Thanks Hector! The reason that brought me to inquire about printing is that my music is mostly pedagogical in nature so far, and schools & academies only allocate budget for buying physical scores, not PDF ones they then need to print & bind themselves. Unfortunately I do not have space for ...

I've asked the printer: one copy of this is 110 EUR + shipping for me ... assuming a reasonable margin, who would ever buy this?
I certainly wouldn't, and I know the quality of the piece and of the engraving ...

In theory, I agree with POD being the best solution but, as we discussed already, Halstan is no longer doing it. Luckily, I found a distributor, otherwise I would have kept searching for POD options. But what about shipping prices? In EU the printer offered 15EUR shipping for a single package… that’...

If it were up to me, I would print each one separately. Price-wise, it becomes manageable from 50+ copies, which is not bad, but I've decided to see how digital sales go before committing. These are totally unknown pieces, no point in printing so many copies until I get enough visibility—btw...how ...

Have you tried the "Manual Staff Visibility" feature? Here's how I would do it: 1. write everything, included instrument changes, in the second flute player 2. create a piccolo player above flute 1, and paste in the needed music 3. at start of the score, right-click on piccolo staff, then ...

The reason they can't do it is automation that goes with the need for quantity. I have not inquired with Halstan, but I guess since they are the specialists in the field they would be able to do that no problem. The printer I use is not near me, nor in the same country, so being persistent via e-mai...

The size is called NE (New Edition) and is very pleasant for making parts.

What's the story of this paper size?
I have never heard of it.
Some publisher using it?

That would be the solution for example for Bach's Cello Suite from Barenreiter: the slipcase!
I have not considered it yet, because I think it is too expensive, but I will inquire.

Hi Josh, I have started to print my editions back in November 2022, and I have promised myself (and John) to write an article on my blog about the experience. Sadly for my readers, I have been submerged with continuous urgent work, of the kind that doesn't let you breathe... but I will try to summar...
