I personally think that for an engraver to be successful in the future, he/she must be able to provide some sort "cutting edge" services, such as price/work speed and/or output superiority. But since most composers and even some musicians today seem to think that even the notation module of a MIDI sequencer makes the music look "good enough", the future of the music engraver perhaps isn't that good. Also, as a music engraver you must be willing to supply the output in the format that the client demands (Finale/Score/Sibelius/PDF/etc). If you decide to work for a publishing house, you have to use the program they use, and conform to their normally very strict notation rules. [Most publishing houses seem to move to Finale now, such as Schott, Universal, Henle, Warner, etc. I think Peters still uses Score. Don't know about Hal Leonard and Boosey.] Btw, I don't think this subject is very TAN for this group, specially considering all the spam that this group gets nowadays.
