What You'll Receive
Full Description
If your sheet music exists in any form — a crumpled scan, a handwritten manuscript, a rough PDF, or a MIDI file — this service turns it into a polished, print-ready score in Sibelius or Finale. Whether you are a composer seeking a clean engraved copy, a publisher preparing parts for print, or an arranger who needs a MIDI converted to readable notation, you will receive a professional result that looks exactly as it should on the page.
EVERY ORDER INCLUDES
Accurate typesetting of your PDF, scan or handwritten score using Sibelius or Finale. The final delivery includes a PDF (default) plus the native notation project file — SIB for Sibelius or MUS/MUSX for Finale — so you retain full editorial control. MIDI export is also available on request.
All pieces are treated as complex by default, meaning no shortcuts are taken on articulations, dynamics, beaming, spacing or any other detail that separates a professional score from a rough draft. Transposing instruments are handled correctly as standard; concert pitch and transposed versions are both available.
SCOPE OF WORK
The entry tier covers up to five A4 pages — ideal for short pieces, lead sheets, single-movement works or individual instrument parts. The Standard tier scales to fifteen pages, suited to full movements, chamber pieces and multi-instrument arrangements. The Full Score tier covers up to thirty pages and is built for orchestral works, large ensemble scores and complex MIDI conversions requiring tempo-grid correction.
Individual extracted parts are available as an add-on. These are separate instrument parts pulled from the full score and delivered either within the same project file or as individual PDFs — your choice.
Lyrics can be included as an optional add-on for vocal music.
MIDI TRANSCRIPTION
MIDI files vary enormously in complexity. A sequenced MIDI that follows a clean tempo grid is straightforward; a piano recording that ignores the grid entirely is the most demanding conversion possible. Pricing is therefore considered individually — please send your file via the order chat before purchasing if you are unsure which tier applies. Tempo-sync correction is included in the scope where needed.
OTHER NOTATION SOFTWARE
Dorico projects are available on request, though delivery may take a little longer. MusicXML export (compatible with most notation software including MuseScore) can also be provided. For complex layouts requiring precise page control, Sibelius or Finale is strongly recommended.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Composers and arrangers who need a clean engraved copy of their work. Music publishers preparing scores and parts for print. Educators who need handwritten manuscripts digitised. Performers who have received a poor-quality scan and need something legible. Film and theatre composers converting MIDI mockups to readable scores.
Please send a message before ordering if your project involves a MIDI file, an unusually large page count, or a full orchestral score with individual parts — this ensures the correct tier and delivery time are agreed in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, particularly for MIDI files, projects larger than 30 pages, or full orchestral scores requiring individual parts. A quick message lets us confirm the correct tier, agree the delivery time and ensure nothing is missed before work begins. For straightforward PDF or scan transcriptions within the page counts listed, you can order directly.
In most cases, page count is all that matters — all pieces are treated as complex by default, so you are never charged extra for difficult articulations, dense harmonies or unusual notation. In rare edge cases involving exceptional complexity, we would discuss this before any work begins. All pricing is based on the time required to deliver a professional result.
Every order includes a print-ready PDF and the native notation project file — SIB for Sibelius or MUS/MUSX for Finale. MIDI export from the notation project is available on request. Dorico projects and MusicXML files can also be provided; please mention this when ordering.
Every MIDI file is unique, so pricing is assessed individually. The simplest cases involve sequenced MIDI that already follows a clean tempo grid. The most demanding involve instruments such as piano recorded without tempo sync, which requires manual correction before notation is possible. Please send your MIDI file via the order chat so the correct tier and price can be confirmed before you purchase.
An individual part is a separate notation extract for a single instrument taken from the full score — for example, the violin II part pulled from an orchestral score. Creating these is time-consuming and not always needed, so they are available as an add-on. Parts can be delivered within the same project file as the score, or as separate PDFs, or as a combined PDF containing score and all parts — whichever you prefer.
Yes, always. Bb clarinets, Eb alto saxophones, F horns and all other transposing instruments are notated at the correct written pitch. If you need a version in concert pitch alongside transposed parts, that can be arranged — just mention it when you place the order.
Dorico projects are available; please allow extra delivery time as it is still being integrated into the workflow. MuseScore files can be produced for simpler projects, though its page layout capabilities are limited for complex scores. For anything requiring precise professional layout — orchestral scores, publishing-ready parts — Sibelius or Finale is strongly recommended.
For PDF or scan transcription: your PDF or scanned image files, and any notes on specific formatting preferences. For MIDI transcription: your MIDI file and any context about the piece (tempo, time signature, instrumentation). The clearer your source material, the faster and more accurate the result. All communication and file sharing happens through the order chat.

A perfect experience. I had a time crunch I needed my charts by and he delivered before the estimated delivery time! Thank you so much.
Great to work with you. There was clear and timely communication, issues were discussed, and the delivery was professional and of very high quality. Definitely a freelancer I will work with again if I have future needs in sheet music generation.
Such expert and exceptional work! I would highly recommend Valera! Such professionalism and an eye and ear for detail! Thank you!
First time working the seller and he did a great job. There were a couple of minor revisions that I wanted and he was able to accomplish that really easily and quickly. Highly recommend working with her.
Exceptional work! Will use again!
Valentina is always a pleasure to work with. He is very talented with great attention to detail - will hopefully continue working with her in the future!
Very professional work as usual! A bit of a delay, but it sounds as if it was forces outside of his control.
I requested that a PDF of a guitar piece be copied out and formatted as a SIB file. This was done super quickly, with mistakes flagged and edited as they were spotted (I've worked as a proofreader and editor myself – and he was spotting mistakes I'd made, excellent!). In the edition that was created, issues with the retuned guitar and its TAB automation were fixed, and attention to velocity was noted too. Very impressive – the spotting of mistakes was really, really helpful. Very quick work, very high quality, and an extremely good price – I will be sending more work his way.
Perfect work.
Valentina was a dream to work with. He works quickly, extremely fast and responsive communication. And her final product is really beautiful, as all musicians know a good score can really make the difference between a successful performance and a difficult one, and Valentina gives you a lot of attention to detail. Excited to work with her again!
