About Music Engraving and Copying
A clean and organized piece of music will make a difference to every single musician, from professionals to beginners. Stephanie Plautz's engraving and copying services can make a huge difference, regardless of if you are working for marching bands, orchestras, or so much more.
Whether the source material is a handwritten score, a heavily marked part, or a worn down part, I am able to rewrite the score into Dorico to create high quality, professional looking sheet music.
So how does it work?
