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 composers
and musicians such as 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, 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.
FinePrint is a registered member of the
Music Arranger's Guild of Australia Incorporated (MAGA Inc.)
