Registered Member (as copyist, computer copyist and arranger)
of
The Music Arrangers Guild of Australia (MAGA) from 1982 to 1997.
Around 1980 I began casual work copying music by hand. Since the late 80s I have been using several computer notation packages, namely Music Publisher, Finale v.2.6.3, 3.0.1, 3.2, 3.5, 3.7.2, Finale 98, 2000, 2001a, and Sibelius 7 v.3. I have spent literally thousands of hours using these programmes.
Currently I specialise in Finale. Files can be saved to a floppy disc formatted for IBM or Mac, and can be used by both the Windows and Macintosh versions of Finale.
Music, text and graphics are printed at resolutions to 600 by 600 dpi on my laser printer. Multiple copies are made on a very versatile in-house photocopier. Scores can be assembled in-house using either wire binding (as is used in the booklet---see below), or saddle stitching (stapled in the middle with a long-arm stapler).
For examples and more details send AUS$10 for my wire-bound booklet "Music Typesetting Samples". (Overseas: AUS$20).
If you would like to talk about getting some music typeset, please phone me on 08 9381 2308 or send me an email at hmpperth@cygnus.uwa.edu.au
