Cost

Every project is different, so the best way I can make a cost estimate is if I see an example of your music in advance. This way I can judge what level of intervention may be advisable and how long the work may take.

Issues that may affect the price include:

  • length of piece
  • amount of correction work required
  • speed of turnover
  • part extraction and editing
  • adding cues to parts

In order to work out a quote, I will ask you to send me a sample of the music. I will then do an hour’s work on it and estimate how long the project will take. This may well be a minimum to maximum costing, depending on what I uncover! My hourly rate is £18.

We can have a chat or correspond to discuss your requirements in more detail with no obligation to commit. Please feel free to contact me and we can take it from there if you wish.

I have had occasion to utilize the services of Mr McGregor many times over a number of years for the production of music. This has often involved difficult transpositions etc. which he has consistently done with sympathy and understanding always to perfection.

Ivor’s wealth of knowledge and high level of expertise, along with his excellent correspondence response time, instilled confidence in me and I knew I had chosen the right person for the task of proofreading my composition. Ivor’s ability to listen and understand my requirements as someone who is relatively new to music-writing software was much appreciated, and this, along with his attention to detail, clearly shows that he cares about his work. He has been extremely patient and helpful, offering advice and ideas on several levels and I’m really happy with the work he has done. I absolutely recommend Ivor for your proofreading and I’m already preparing some more of my music to send to him.
