What is allowed and what is not?
Answer: What is allowed:
The arrangement may only be printed for the amount of users which have been paid for (this can be seen in the watermark on the sheet music). During any check, the original copies must be shown. A printed sheet will be accepted as an original. The invoice/order acceptance must also be shown.
What is not allowed:
An arrangement may never be copied! An automatic anti-copy label will be incorporated into the arrangement; this label is designed to discolour when copied.

Answer: That is always difficult to judge. Something which is difficult for one person can be easy for another. We pride ourselves on having a high level of experience within choirs and pop groups which makes it possible for us to know what peoples capabilities are. Our arrangements are, generally speaking 'easy accessible'. We try to keep to the original version as much as possible whilst also bearing in mind that the arrangement must be performed by amateurs. For that reason there are two piano levels. The advanced part is as the pianist plays in the original; the moderated part is easy-playable en therefore less complicated. Each arrangement comes with it's own level of difficulty (f.e.: On a scale of I - V this arrangement is average: III).
Answer: Correct, this is a deliberate choice. We arrange pieces as sung by the artist. Listen to the recording, sing along, and you'll pick the rhythm up quickly.
Answer: Unfortunately we don't offer this service anymore ! The reason is simple, we need a lot of time for making a new arrangement ( 10 - 30 hours depending of the accompaniment and level) No choir can afford this ( over 600 Euro for an arrangement) We entirely focus on enlargement of our catalogue, concerning the "shout it" requests and those we get by email.
Answer: It is possible to hear a MIDI (computer sample) for every vocal part. This is the sound of a clarinet or bassoon, clearly centered and the rest of the choir/acappella group softly in the background.
We have chosen for this method because:
- ....the process of singing all parts of all our catalogue by professionals is a costly one.
- ....studying the lyrics is made easier when you are required to read the words for yourself.
- ....you have the possibility to modify the melody; when working with files where the lyrics are already recorded it becomes very difficult as musical director to give a piece your own interpretation.
- ....a clarinet-/bassoon sound has a good attack; rhythm is always sharp and the tone resounds longer (as compared to a piano sample).
- ....samples are always perfectly in tune.
Answer: How to share and seperate pages from a PDF file is descriped in this document.
