I'm not the wonderful euphonium player. I'm the wonderful tenor sax player.

This is often used as a "list" price from which you may give a "discount." DEREK KANE: Are you the wonderful euphonium player??? ;-) If so, love your playing!!!

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.

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. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
