We just used an old ring binder (if that's what it is called in English). The string players then offered to share scores as much as possible, which they said was very common with scoring sessions.īinding the sheet music wasn't necessary for the instrument parts, only the conductor's score needed a quick solution. My biggest fear though wasn't that we would miss the deadline, running out of ink and paper was my main concern, because we had to use an old printer from the studio since we couldn't connect our PCs to their network. It wasn't exactly the happiest time of my life, I can tell you. I once had to print out all the parts of a full orchestra score in less than two hours before the start of a recording session, because of major last-minute changes in the editing of the movie. If you want to tape or bind things yourself, here are some ways to do it: I wouldn't trust that to an office store because there are too many ways things can go wrong. If you are doing orchestra parts and you have to have multiple copies for strings, that takes long hours, even when using an intern.įor the taping/binding of parts, you still have to do that or have a music employee/intern do it. The reality is, it's so much faster and easier than doing it all myself, which I have done a LOT. If it's going to be re-used, I'll get a vinyl back and a card stock cover with the title. I get the scores Spiral Bound, so they lay flat. For the 11 x 17, they have it there in any paper stock you want. They don't have the custom paper sizes like for Orchestra/Big Band parts, but I do so I take the paper with me. I've been considering upgrading but mine is still grinding out scores.Īll that being said, on my last couple of big jobs, I have taken them to Office Max. It is not wireless or any of the other cool stuff that's come about since I got this one. Also, this older version doesn't support some of the newer Windows OS like W7/8/10. If you have really large runs, with lots of pieces and parts, you might have to nurse it along a bit by printing smaller runs at a time. You have to be sure you get your layout correct for that, but I've printed booklets before using this with no problem. I think it prints up to 20 x 13, which means, if you have orchestra parts in booklet format, you can print them as well. I've used a variety of paper thicknesses with no problems at all.
I've printed, literally, hundreds of full sized scores (11 x 17), Symphony parts (10 x 13), Big Band parts (9.5 x 12.5) and letter size (8.5 x 11). There is an attachment available that will allow two sided printing: I believe there is a newer HP that is essentially the same but upgraded. I have this: Amazon product Mine is an older version that I've had for nearly 10 years and it's still going.
