Priceless information for composers/orchestrators, 6 Dec 2009
By D. S. Grant - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The art of music engraving and processing;: A complete manual, reference and text book on preparing music for reproduction and print (Paperback)
Today a lot of sheet music comes straight from the composers hand (or, more likely typeset with computer programs such as Sibelius, LilyPond or Finale), and is published or presented to performers without the layout having been professionally designed by engravers or autographers. This book can be of great help to the composer or orchestrator who typesets his own music for performers, and may contribute to avoiding future publications of ugly computer generated sheet music which is increasingly presented to performers and conductors.
Some of the content in the book is outdated and irrelevant to us today (though is a very interesting historical presentation of the traditions of producing sheet music), but there is so much other priceless information that is difficult to find anywhere today, and is a real wake-up call as you realize that many of the decisions taken by digital typesetting programs are not necessarily optimal for producing the best result, as there are many exceptions to the rules that these programs by default follow.

Notable guia, 27 Jan 2010
By Marcelo A. Boluña "Marcelo" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The art of music engraving and processing;: A complete manual, reference and text book on preparing music for reproduction and print (Paperback)
A pesar del los años transcurridos desde esta edición, y de que no alcanza a conocer la actual composición e impresión de música por computadora, esta obra describe con claridad cuales son las formas correctas de copiar partituras sin importar el método que se utilice. Imprescindible para cualquier persona que tenga que hacer frente a trabajos de copistería profesionales y pretenda que sus trabajos sean apreciados por los ejecutantes.
