Sunday, 3:30-6pm: A Better Score: How to Produce Exceptional Scores and Parts Did you know that many conductors, ensemble directors, and other key decision-makers will not even look at a score that doesn't follow certain standards?

A Better Score covers what you need to know to produce professional-level, performer-/conductor-friendly scores and parts.
