Emergency Rush Transcription — Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you deliver?
Our fastest tier delivers within 24–48 hours. Rush delivery is 2–3 business days. All rush projects are engraved in professional notation software like Sibelius or Dorico. Exact turnaround depends on project complexity and current queue. Contact us with your deadline and we’ll confirm availability.
Is rush quality the same as standard?
Yes — rush transcription delivers the same professional quality as standard delivery. In our experience, the only difference is timeline; you are paying for priority scheduling, not a different level of work.
- Same musicians — your project is handled by the same professionally trained transcriptionists who work on standard orders
- Same accuracy guarantee — note-for-note transcription with free error corrections, regardless of turnaround speed
- Same deliverables — print-ready PDF engraved in Sibelius or Dorico, with optional MIDI and MusicXML exports
- Same revision policy — revisions included at no extra charge on both rush and standard orders
The rush surcharge covers queue prioritization and accelerated scheduling — not a compromise in quality.
What’s the fastest you’ve ever delivered?
We’ve delivered lead sheets within 12 hours for emergency situations. Multi-instrument scores typically require at least 24 hours. Contact us — we’ll do everything possible to meet your deadline.
Do all services have a rush option?
Yes. Rush delivery is available for transcription, arrangement, engraving, transposition, and most other services. Contact us to discuss rush options for your specific project.
How do I request rush delivery?
Contact us with your audio file and deadline. We’ll confirm availability, provide a quote, and begin work immediately upon approval. For true emergencies, call us directly.
What if my project is very complex?
Complex projects (large ensembles, dense arrangements) may require more time even on rush. We’ll give you an honest estimate upfront. If we can’t meet your deadline, we’ll tell you immediately.
Can I upgrade to rush after placing a standard order?
Yes, if the project hasn’t been completed yet. Contact us as soon as possible and we’ll adjust the timeline and pricing. The sooner you upgrade, the better we can accommodate your deadline.
