Worked example

Transpose for a singer

The same hymn moved from G major to E-flat major, with a plain account of what that asks of the basses.

What the musician filled in

The piece: Old Hundredth, the attached MusicXML
Target sounding key: E-flat major

What the studio asked back

Nothing. The form had what it needed, so the work went straight ahead.

How long it took

24 minutes from the moment work began to the files being ready, for this short hymn. A longer score takes longer.

What came back

The score in E-flat majorPDF, one page
The same score, editableMusicXML
The guideWhat was done, what was not, and how to perform it

Old Hundredth for four voices in E-flat major, on one page.

From the guide that came with it

Every delivery comes with a written guide. These lines are copied from this one.

Why down a major third and not up a minor sixth
There are two ways to get from G major to E-flat major. I chose the nearer one, down a major third. It keeps the tune in a moderate, singable place for the melody (B-flat to B-flat), and the choir moves only four semitones from your original.
If your basses can't manage the low E-flats, I can make that higher version instead.

Performance notes
The score doesn't mark it, but if some basses can't reach the low E-flats and the low D, a common rehearsal option is to have them sing those notes an octave higher while the stronger low voices keep the written octave. That is your decision as director.
