Worked example
Parts from a score
A four-part hymn setting, printed as a one-page part for each voice.
What the musician filled in
- The piece
- Old Hundredth, the attached MusicXML
- Players and instruments
- SATB choir
What the studio asked back
Nothing. The form had what it needed, so the work went straight ahead.
How long it took
11 minutes from the moment work began to the files being ready, for this short hymn. A longer score takes longer.

From the guide that came with it
Every delivery comes with a written guide. These lines are copied from this one.
Difficulty and playability notes
There are no rests in any part. Singers have to take breath between phrases by shortening the last crotchet of a phrase (end of bars 2, 4 and 6). Nothing is marked for this; the guide only points it out.
Each part fits on one line of a single A4 page, so there are no page turns.
Performance notes
Your source has no tempo marking, dynamics, articulations, slurs, fermatas, breath marks, lyrics or rehearsal marks. The parts keep that: nothing of that kind was added. The brief asked me to keep dynamics, articulations and rehearsal marks. There were none to keep, and I invented none.
Start one like this
The same few questions, with your own music. Nothing runs until you have set a spending limit and pressed Start.
