How to professionals get their sheet music written?

December 282009

Like Taylor Swift and those kind of people. How do they get their music on digital sheet musics to sell, print out and sell?

There’s something called melodic dictation. When you can hear a tune and write it down in music, you can get paid to do so. The Beatles paid someone to do it…

If you can read music and hear it and write it down there’s a great website that you can use without downloading anything. http://www.noteflight.com

    I guess they hire a person who uses a computer program to take the music recording and generate sheet music from the recording.

    I used to use a program called "Music Time Deluxe" for Windows, but it was very time-consuming. I’m sure there are computer programs that can really quickly produce sheet music.

    Then, I think the professionals have the sheet music submitted to the Library of Congress, to get it Copyrighted. Once everything is Copyrighted, then they can sell it.

    people like Taylor swift don’t need sheet music. It is 4 freeking chords! EVERY SONG!! Anyway, usually they do not use sheet music unless it is more intricate music such as symphony, metal, or etc. Taylor swift-esque music pretty much just uses simple chord formations and major scales, so there really isn’t much to be written other than the octave structure for the real musicians.
