PRICING Pricing Our pricing
policy... We know from
experience that what our clients want is
: The
first two relate to professional competence and
organisation; the third is a question of being
mutually honest. In fact, fixing the price is a
delicate task, because in music-engraving it
depends on a whole host of factors, principally the
complexity of the music and the length of the
piece. There is no easy mathematical table, no real
standard: no two pieces are identical and we need
to see the manuscript to be able to quote
accurately. In
our early days we (in common with most other
music-engravers) quoted a price per page. However,
principally because this left many of our customers
somewhat unsatisfied, we decided to adopt our
present system of a personalized quote, each
manuscript being calculated as unique. We provide
these quotations free of charge. We no longer quote
a generalized price per page. This
means we need to see the complete manuscript so
that we can calculate the price as honestly as
possible, based on the complexity of the music and
the length of the piece. After receiving your
manuscript and a clear request of the nature of
work that you would like, we will get a quote to
you as quickly as possible: this quote will detail
not only the financial cost, but also the time the
work will take (this delay is valid as from placing
a definitive order). In other words, you, as
customer, know in advance the exact price and the
amount of time we think is necessary to produce a
quality result. Music Engraving
BAYARD-NIZET We
are unable to accept manuscripts for setting by
fax or by email :-( To give you some idea of our
prices, here are some sample
pages of setting, with
an indication of how much we would charge for
setting these pages. If you have any questions
concerning music-engraving, you might like to
contact
us by email.
