PGMusicTips endeavours to keep your costs low, and this is through computer setting, an economical replacement for hand-copying. We balance a desire for a clean and legible score, following the engraving style of the major music publishers, with practical needs of performers, based on extensive musical and musical setting experience (eg convenient placement of page-turns)

.Music setting

PGMusicTips specialises in vocal scores, though services for instrumental and keyboard scores are also available.

Choral scores

In open or closed score.

Orchestral scores

Full scores (in concert or instrumental pitch): instrumental parts are provided on request.

Musical examples

Examples can be pasted into your original text document, or converted into a more image-friendly programme (eg PDF document).

Printing and copying

All scores are provided in hard copy on paper size of your choice (A5, A4, A3, letter), and/or electronic format (the original Finale file or PDF document) on CD-Rom (or email in an emergency).

Limited copy-runs of your music can be made, on paper-density of your choice. Spiral, staple and perfect binding options are available.

Copyright is retained by the composer. An allocation of an ISMN can be arranged.
For new choral compositions, we can place the work in a catalogue, which will be distributed to choirs. Copyright will be retained by the composer.

Commissions

Paul Gameson is happy to undertake editorial commissions of 15th-18th century vocal or instrumental music. Please see Paul’s own publications, interests and forthcoming projects. Copyright will remain with Paul Gameson.

Consultation Services

Advice and assistance can be offered related to music layout, and specifically to Finale progamming. Workshops for educational establishments can be provided.

This service is free. Copyright to programme notes will be retained by Paul Gameson.

Costs

Many music setters charge by the frame (individual bars), while I cost by the hour or, in the case of larger commissions, by the job as a whole, and am prepared to take account of your own budget. Every job is different! Conntact us to discuss your requirements.

Students receive a 50% discount off all work.

Placing an order

Please contact PGMusicTips by phone, letter or email to discuss your requirements.
Urgent orders are responded to on a first come, first served basis.
