You most certainly have an excellent point. Part of the problem is that
I get hired because I have a (modest) reputation of always having my
stuff work out. Sometimes that involves me making adjustments, which
are not, strictly speaking, part of the orchestrator's job, and
certainly not the copyist's job! I think part of what I get paid for is
responsibility. If I have more responsibility, then I should get paid
more, so a flat hourly fee for what I do does not always do justice to
the job. Some tasks that take less time are actually worth more,
because I am drawing on my knowledge and experience. It comes back to
the same question; how can I charge for this, and explain it to the
client?

If you use this method, be sure to get payment in advance :-)

Or, if they want to pay you only part copying rates, then you should
simply copy the parts. Leave any arranging or filling in gaps to them.
Present them with the parts, gaps and all, boring voicings and all.
Then tell them it will be extra for you to fancy things up if they
want
that.
