Team copying & proofreading
Posted: 30 Jul 2016, 09:05
I would like if you could share your way when working in a team (with a composer, or working with several music copyists).
How do you work with a composer?
How do you work with other copyists?
What is the way to keep the document properly edited, checked, proofread, versioning - version control?
What other tools do you use such as spreadsheets, databases, PMS, github, paper+pen, etc...?
I will soon work on a very large piece of mine, with one copyist. Eventually two, but that will make the thing more complicated.
Bad moments that I faced before is when we discover at a very late stage of copying some improperly typed things or settings (in Finale) so that further editing (such as parts, layout etc) seems to be very tedious and difficult. Sometimes it is a font not working when printing, sometimes there are things that move without your command and so on.
It would be great to know how you work and to learn more.
