How fast can you deliver session charts?

- Standard (2–3 business days) — full scores, lead sheets, or parts for typical session prep
- Priority (1–2 business days) — expedited production for sessions booked on short notice
- Rush (24 hours) — fastest turnaround for last-minute bookings; rush surcharge applies
- Ongoing retainers — dedicated production slots with guaranteed turnaround for studios with regular session work
Contact us with your session date and we will confirm delivery before you commit.
What chart formats do you provide for session musicians?
We deliver lead sheets, Nashville number charts, full scores, individual parts, guitar/bass tabs, and MIDI files. We also support MusicXML exports for interoperability between notation software. Tell us what your session players need and we will format accordingly.
Can you transcribe from rough demo recordings?
Yes. We work from any audio source — rough demos, phone recordings, live takes, reference tracks, or polished masters. We can also transcribe from YouTube links or MIDI files.
How do you handle multi-track recordings?
We can transcribe individual instruments from multi-track sessions or from stereo mixes. If you can provide isolated stems, we achieve even higher accuracy. Complex arrangements with many overlapping parts are our specialty.
Can you extract individual parts from a full score?
Absolutely. We extract parts for every instrument with proper formatting including cue notes, rehearsal marks, page turns at logical rest points, and transposed parts for Bb and Eb instruments.
Do you offer back catalog archival services?
Yes. We transcribe recorded catalogs into archival sheet music, preserving every arrangement, voicing, and orchestration detail in editable notation files. Our production team recommends archival transcription for these reasons:
- Permanent written record — your masters documented in notation that outlasts any audio format
- Re-recording flexibility — editable Sibelius, Dorico, or Finale files let you adapt arrangements for new sessions
- Licensing & sync — accurate lead sheets and full scores ready for music supervisors and publishers
- Catalog monetization — print-ready scores for sheet music distribution or digital licensing
We handle catalogs of any size with dedicated project management, batch delivery schedules, and consistent quality across every transcription.
What genres do you cover?
All genres — our team has session-chart experience across every style studios work in. In our experience, the most common studio requests include:
- Popular — pop, rock, R&B, hip-hop, country, and Latin
- Jazz & soul — big band charts, combo arrangements, and lead sheets with chord symbols
- Classical & orchestral — full scores, chamber parts, and conductor's scores for tracking sessions
- Film, TV & games — orchestral cues, underscore, and sync-ready charts
- Niche & fusion — world music, experimental, electronic hybrid, and genre-blending projects
No genre is too specialized. Charts are produced in Sibelius, Dorico, or Finale and delivered in your preferred format.
Is rush delivery available for last-minute sessions?
Yes. We offer rush delivery for urgent studio projects with turnaround as fast as 24 hours. Our rush options are structured to fit different levels of urgency:
- 24-hour rush — lead sheets, single-instrument charts, and short-form transcriptions
- 48-hour rush — multi-part arrangements, full scores, and complex transcriptions
- Rush surcharge — +50% on standard project rate; quoted upfront before you commit
- Availability — depends on current production load and project complexity
Contact us with your session date for an immediate rush quote — we confirm turnaround before you commit.
