After much frustration as professional performers spending excessive time trying to decipher composer's handwritten scores, the founders of FinePrint - Bettina Crimmins and Angela Turner - decided to overcome this waste of practice/rehearsal time by learning the art of computer music typesetting. Now with 24 years combined experience with FinaleTM, and more recently SibeliusTM, FinePrint are dedicated to providing professionally set scores to both established and 'up and coming' composers and musicians.

Past projects of FinePrint typesetters have included working in conjunction with some of Australia's leading orchestras, composers and musicians such as Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Symphony, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, The Queensland Orchestra, Larry Sitsky, Gerard Brophy, Elena Kats-Chernin, David Nuttall and Stephen Emmerson. Several of these works have been prepared for publication and international distribution by major publishing houses such as Hal Leonard, Boosey and Hawkes, Edition Peters and Warner/Chappell Music Inc.

Based in Sydney and Brisbane, Australia, and working with partner company Footnote in Freiburg, Germany, FinePrint are in a position to provide fast, accurate, and very reasonably priced scores to a standard acceptable to major publishing houses around the world.
