Examples of my work
Editing, formatting, typesetting, engraving, proofreading... anything to do with the score that the
performers see. I regularly work with several leading publishers and composers on all kinds of notated music.
I have a particular interests in experimental instrumental and vocal notation, but I have lots of
experience with all sorts, including choral music, theatre and with all sizes of ensemble.
In each project it's all about finding the best way to communicate with the performer - and it isn't just
about the notes and the stave, but every presentation decision that you make can inform the approach a
performer takes to the piece. Of course, sometimes you just need parts making quickly and accurately,
but sometimes you need someone to think about how wide a wiggly line should be, or how to pace the page
turns to reflect the energy in the music. Details are so important.
I work in both Dorico and Sibelius (and do have experience working with xmls from Finale).
