Unit Descriptor
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to prepare compositions for electronic or print publishing.
Application of the Unit
Music copyists apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit. They may be required to take the hand-written score of a composer and enter the notation into a computer program, such as Finale or Sibelius. Alternatively, the score could be print-based and they work closely with editing personnel at the publishing house. With the advent of music notation software applications, many composers and arrangers prepare their own music for publication.
