Hi Dennis,
I don't let my original files go to anyone. Not because I don't want
to let any of my "secrets" out (I'm happy to help when I can if I have
the time) but because ultimately I'm responsible for the end product.
There's just too much that can go wrong when the original files are
being altered....and according to Murphy's law those things will show
up on the scoring stage and that would be bad...very bad....
Yes, when your name is on it, you WANT to be a control freak, for sure!
So I "print" out PDF's and then post them on my server so that the
composer can download and mark up the score as much as they want.
They are then picked up from the composer I do the fixes in both the
score and parts myself.
So this is done in pencil (or pen!) and you get the physical pieces of
paper marked up from the composer? This is how I've always done it,
too, but it sure would be great to have a way of marking up
electronically, as Microsoft Word does, so that the proofs could just
be sent back over the Internet. Scanning and faxing lose detail and
colour, if someone uses coloured pens as most of my clients do. I
suppose musical notation stickies would be just too complex...
