Some rules of thumb and tips
• Try to put one self in the clients shoes• Ask in case of singers if they want a full score or a
vocal score (in case of opera etc)• Ask if your client (in case of more instruments)
wants a score or parts• Do realise your client often wants a specific
arrangement or kind of notation • Use the automated catalogue• In case you can’t find it in the automated catalogue
search in the national catalogue or in catalogue of the Dutch Radio Television catalogus van de Omroep
Some rules of thumb and tips(2)
• Avoid the use of the instrument entry in the automated catalogue if you know the title of the wanted music
• for orchestral materials go to website of the Faso
• There are many digital sources on the internet for sheet music, see weblinks
Special search engines for music
