Hi Guys, I will be a freelance librarian and copyist for the upcoming Start Wars film recording in London with LSO. I have worked with John Williams on several films in London over the past few years. He delivers his scores by hand on the "American" style sketch paper i.e. The stuff that is just too big to be photocopied on a regular European copier :-). His sketches are indeed detailed, but in my opinion still require an orchestrator of considerable skill (which he has) to get their balance right, these score are almost always delivered handwritten and immaculate. As to credits, the orchestrator is always credited on the score itself, and on the film credits, as are the copyist/librarians :-) As far as I am aware nobody in the music production team on a film has the title "clerk", and none of use own a small green peaked eye-shield Happy New Year Dave Hage Dakota Music Ltd _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
