I know that count items but i cant know without copy it before, and count by
hand maybe is too boring...that big orchestral work was after copy it 65000
notes, i think 7000 rests and so, i got that numbers somewhere...
That can work maybe on extracting parts, but i have to give a prize before
start, just with a deep sight on it
thanks, the idea is good, but not on this method i got contracted usually

Here's an idea. There is a function in Finale that will count all the items
in the score. Path: plug-ins\miscellaneous\count items. You can charge a
set price for each item. Charge 1 cent for each measure, 2 cents for each
note, etc. I would start with this big score you did. Figure out how much
you think you "should" have got paid, then count items, and figure out what
each item is worth in cents. This can be part of your initial contract too.
This is a nice little feature that I have used occasionally. You can also
charge by the hour if that is easier.

Hi everyone,
i was checking the archives but i didnt find any subject about this (at
least i didnt find)
Im working as engraver from about three years, i think everybody may had
this same trouble,
everytime i give some prize for a possible work, the customer accept but
just starting i feel i went "cheated". A lot of dificult things appear on
the score, or the client just want to change something or make new
requirements. Im pretty newbie and i cant predict such a things, and im also
very very shy for talk about money.
The most incredible sample of this matter is that i was working on such a
big orchestral piece with parts that took me 8 months, and the only money i
took was 1200 euros...
Id love someone to talk me as clear as possible about how much is right
prize.
I know im not an experienced professional but i dont wanna live on slavery,
hehe
thanks to everyone.
