F.A.Q.: Frequently asked questions.
  My manuscript contains unusual notation. Won't this have to be added by hand? No need. We can recreate your original notations and symbols within the document. We recognize that music notation should always be the tool of a composer, not the master. Non-standard notation is the cornerstone of contemporary music. We fully endorse its use! 
  Will I be able to hear my music?
Absolutely. A precise and realistic computer-generated demo tape of your piece is available using advanced Kurzweil sampling technology or using the full range of Garritan orchestral samples. 
  What if I want to request changes to the score?
No problem. In this age of computer-driven publishing, score alterations are relatively painless. You always have the right to edit your music. 
  Will I be able to get the computer file itself?
Yes! Upon completion of your project, you will receive both a "hard" copy of your score and a "soft" copy of the original file on disc, formatted for either Macintosh or Windows machines to suit your needs.
